FADED DTOWNLVES.
IN PIRATE LEGENDS
Port Royal, Now Common
place, Once Wickedest Spot
in the World.

"The Island of Jamaica, in the west
Indies, which, according to neWspa-
pers. is having it's tariff disputes with
the mother country over the duties
imposed on its articles of export, was,
in the latter half Of the seventeenth
century, the stronghold of the Eng
lish buccaneers" says bulletin based
on a communication by Nell Ray
Clarke to the National Geographic
Society here.
Morgan the greatest and most
sagaciouS of the pirates. planned
most of his expeditions in Port Royal,
which had the reputation of being the
richest and wickedeSt spot on the
earth. And proud the city was of the
notoriety. Defiant tiamboyant and
unabashed. it greeted the chiefs who
lent riotouS color TO its life, .emptied
gold into it's Golfers and tinged it's
nights with drunkenness and revelry.
Shaken by Earthquake.
In those days Port Royal had a
high wall about it and wide quays.
whereon its habtues emptied their
pieces-of-eight. Then, as if Provi-
dence were outraged by its utter dis
regard of moral laws. an earthquake,
on June :, 1892. shook Jamaica to its
foundations and tumbled this den of
iniquity, with scores of the pirates.
into the sea. When the water is calm
the coral-incrusteG ruins of the old
town may be seen beneath the water,
even today, and the natives still re-
gale the visitor with stories of phan-
tom ships that are trying to make the
port.
