SAN FRANCISCO lP)-Part of the
loot of the city of Panama, sacked
ESQ years ago by the gallant buccaneer
Sir Henry Morgan, will be sought by
two San Francisco men if permission
can be obtained from the republic of
Panama.
Louis A. Morgan fourth or fifth
grandson of the notorious British sea
soldier, and Capt. A. Pearson are
building with their own hands 43
foot ketch rugged yacht, the Saxon"
in which to sally forth in quest of
treasure supposedly concealed in a
tropical swamp in Chame bay.
None of the elements of fortune
hunting traditions are missing in the
venture Morgan has planned for seven
years. First of all there is the
parchment chart, cardinal essential OF
all hidden treasure tales.
Morgan bases his hopes for sue
cess. of the contemplated 3200-mile
sailing jaunt on this version of past
events: ss#
Il During the war with Spain in 1911
Sir Henry Morgan, commissioned as
priyateer, invaded the fair southern
city of Panama. Rough usage of the
citizenry failed to uncover m u & h
wealth, hidden when the attack WRs
launched, so Sir Henry blithely Or
dered the city destroyed and thor
ough job of it was done,
A Spanish rescue force met and
defeated the marauders north OF the
city. Unable to carry all of the
booty with them when they fell back,
the invaders lowered chests of silver
and gold ware and "pieces of eight
into a swamp in Chame bay. A
trusted lieutenant and seven pirate
privates were delegated to do the
hiding.
Sir Henry believed more. implicitly
in the adage dead men tell no
tales than in the reticence of his
loyal followers, so he had the seven
pirates shot, but spared the lieuten-
ant to make chart showing the
location of the cache. The trusted
lieutenant does not appear in the
narrative after he delivered the chart
to Sir Henry aboard ship on Darien
bay.
The parchment, Morgan states, was

it came into his possession seven
years ago from his father, Frank
Pierce Morgan, attorney in Victoria,
Texas.
He and Pearson have put all their
available cash and months OF work

of the task was done under the per-
Sonal supervision of Mrs. Jack Lon
don, whose experiences on the noted
cruise of the Shark with her writer
husband have qualified her as an
authority on deep sea travel in boats
of the 40-foot class.

cedes. But how could money be

DEMOCRATS OF
DENVER OPPOSE
VOLSTEAD ACT.

DENVER, Oct. IA lP-The demo-
