Fishing honors at the Casa
Marina went to the ladies yester-
day and in big way at that, and
the returning fleet provided one
thrill after another to those wait
ing on the dockhead for its re-
turn.
The greatest excitement was
caused when Jakey Key brought
his Legion" alongside, with a
loggerhead turtle weighing $50
lbs. Mrs. Justin w. Griess of
Hamilton, Mass. and Mrs. Phyl-
lis Robson of London, Jakey and
his mate share equally the glory
of bringing in this monster. 1t
was sighted out in the stream,
and they pursued it some con-
siderable time before they sue
ceeded in landing it. Excitement
ran high throughout the chase,
and at one point Mrs. CRIES.
was just prevented from going
overheard to retrieve the har-
pooh when another of the party
grabbed her by the ankle.
Mrs. Barron P. Lambert, of
Eccleston, Md. brought in a beau
tiful sailfish. 1t measured 7'3"
and weighed 4612 lbs. Mrs. Lam
bert was out with Mr.. Lambert
in Capt RuSsell's launch, and
this was their first deep-sea fish

with head like an OK, but
weighed only SO pounds. Cap

caught by the party of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles w. Mcnamara and
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Jones of Chi

Cappick by a colored woman in
st. Augustine whose father knew
Gaspar. In Writer'S Digest
literary map along with famous
writers all over the country, Miss
Cappick is depicted waving a
pirate flag in Florida.
A Spanish woman became well
off from pirate gold found in
Key West. When the southern
most house was built she could
often be seen digging at night
with lantern. One day she
left the city mysteriously. An old
colored woman told Miss Cap
pick that her daughter was told
all about it by the woman who
had received the correct chart
from her father. Miss Cappick
has some interesting material on
Mary Reed and Anne Bonney,
woman pirates who operated in
this area.
William Pent of 628 Caroline
street in 1925 found box with
a skull and crossbones flag in it
which went to pieces on being
struck by the air. In the box
was an old quill and the charts
were written in blood. The cap
tain of a ship had been attacked
by Indians on this island and was
badly wounded when drawing up
the charts. A small jar revealed
a gold chain, a small gold locket,
several small coins and another
chart.
Interesting old Key West of
the last so years is recorded in
several old newspapers owned
by Miss Cappick which record
sailing vessels movement. cigar
industry, and ship chandleries'
articles besides several amusing
local writeups.

Key West Pirate Lore Collector
Here Has Charts, Photos, Articles
Miss Marie Cappick Pre-
pairing Historical Vol
ume; Has Photo Of Pr
rate Gomez, Old Papers

There is probably no one in
Key West so well versed ii the
pirate lore of the city than Miss
Marie Cappick of AIS Olivia
street, who is shortly planning
to publish a historical romance
of the island.
For many yeass Miss Cappick
has talked with aged residents
of the city and taken down stories
they have told her of Key West
of long ago. She writes off for
more information whenever she
hears of something being pub
lished in connection with the
city. And she has volumes of
material in her little home set
among beautiful tropical vegeta-
ton.
The most striking object she
has is a picture of John Gomez,
known as Panther Key John,
who was brother in law of the
pirate chief Gasparilla. He was
100 years old when he died at
Panther Key, IL miles below
Marco, Florida. The photo plate
was taken in 1895, shows him
bearded. swarthy, with sailors
cap, baggy pants, rope belt and
hound dog nearby on the key.
He said before he died he had
seen no less than 100 walk the
plank.
The late Captain o. B. Hall,
told Miss Cappick of finding a
Spanish wreck off Boca Grande.
He drew her a map of the loca-
ton. Old histories show where
in IT'S Spanish plate fleet re-
turning from Central America
foundered at Carysfort Reef
Light. An English fleet re-
covered 100000 but attacked by
another Spanish fleet lost part
of their money. An expedition

finding the vessels but so en-
crusted with coral that heavy
machine would be required to
haul up any part of It. The story
was written up in the N. Y.
Herald Tribune of July 80, 1888,
by A. Hyatt Verrill.
Two pirate maps are possessed
by Miss Cappick. One is by
Caesar Gambia, alias Black Gaze
sar and is believed to be on Ell
hot Key. 1t shows mangrove
hammock, coral heads. Atlantic
Ocean, a hut, a bone pile, sapote
trees, islands and creeks, and
deep water channel 35 feet.
Another map is on a canvas ditty
bag and mentions Captains Key
in which there is $4,000 in pieces
of eight in a barrel. The map
shows coral heads and trees. 1t
was drawn by Captain Sandford
on his deathbed. A clay jar
owned by Gaspar was given Miss

Concentrate on Financing
Exports to South America

At the moment, there seems to be
quite a concentration Of effort to
aid in financing exports to South
America. Of course, there have been
credits arranged for several places
in Europe, too, and also in China.
Mr.. Pierson is very optimistic about
future trade with China. But the
bulk of the loans have been In con-
nection with South American prop
ositionS.
And the fact that the export-im-
port bank is paying so much at.
tention to South America is impor-
tant in another way. The fascist
dictators, Mllssolini and Hitler, are
driving had to gain trade footholds
in South America. Having the type
of government Germany and Italy
have, it is easy for them to make
any kind of arrangements desired
by using whatever government re-
sources are necessary. It strikes
me, therefore, that if the export
import bank is making that dent
about which quoted Mr.. Pierson in
the opening sentence! If it Is gain
ing toehold in South America

Export-Import Bank Stands
To Make Large Profit


To Make Large Profit
And important also is the fact
that in the current year, barring
unforeseen developments, the ex-
port-import bank stands to make a
profit of something like $4,000, 900.
That ought to be good news to tax
payers during an era when spending
money is the first thing to which
attention is given. I believe that
fact will impress you as much as
it impressed me.
Mr.. Pierson told me that the bank
has made commitments, now out
standing of slightly more than
1929 100000. That is to say, the
bank has agreed to help finance ex-
ports to that extent. provided the
terms are met, and it must not be
overlooked that the bank is rather
hard boiled. Mr.. Pierson pointed
out that the export-import bank
had to be really as careful as any
commercial bank, but it can do
something the commercial banks
cannot do-make longer-term loans.
Those are the loans represented in
the $229, 900, 900.
The figures showed that ST., 000,-
600 actually has been paid out to
borrowers In financing foreign
trade and, Of this amount. repay
ments under the terms of the loans
have amounted to $38, 000, 900. Which
Is to say that Of the loans outstand-
ing, well over half have been hq-
Undated in orderly fashion.
That is the record to date, and
Mr.. Pierson repeated that q dent
has been made with a comparative
ly small sum Of money.
