Buried Treasure of Buccaneer Knight
To Be Sought by American Descendant

a may reputed to have been left to his
descendants by Sir Henry Morgan him
self. Louis Morgan said he obtained
the parchment on which the drawing
was scrawled from his father. The
tradition, as he relates it, is that eight
men buried the loot for Sir Henry,
and afterward were murdered, so that
the buccaneer, who obtained knight
hood from Charles II of England after
his exploits on the Spanish main. was
the sole survivor of those who knew
where the loot had been secreted.
Louis Morgan says a distant rela-
tive of his is at present excavating
ruins of the old City of Panama in
search of loot. He and Pearson say
they will sail south and try to obtain
permission from the Republic of Pan
anna to dig at the spot indicated on
their man.
