Oh yes he has Imagination too And when a man has love of adventure in his soul coupled with a lively Imagination he can hardly keep away from this romantic business of seeking burled treasure Captain

sounds thrilling as he presents Scan motorists t It TREASURE ISLANDS - dred miles off the coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific ocean It is the most noted of all treasure Islands It Is the mecca of nearly every ad- venturer who wants to find pirate gold and has the means td get from where he is to where he want to be The island Is owned by Great Britain and Is generally uninhabited was Inhabited for many years by a peculiar old man who called himself king or governor of the Island who went He was a treasure-seekto the treasure place and fell In love with the scenery and atmosphere of it Recent visitors do not mention seeing him so I presume he is dead Heavy Jungle growth covers the Island which Is low near the shore but rises to about 3000 feet In the center The Jungle and hills swel terlng under tropical heat combine to discourage treasure seekers Although several determined parties go to Cocos Island every year to get the treasure few stay at the island more than a week and al- most none last a month The Job of getting the treasure is one that should not be undertaken by a party that Isn’t willing to put up with tropical heat and hard labor for at least two months and three months if necessary The treasure of Cocos Island has been described In other tales In this series I will be brief In referring to Its history here There are three separate treasures that are general -ly reputed to be hidden on Cocos but the one about which there Is the most specific Information for present-day treasure seekers Is the treas- -' ure of Lima TIME OF UPRISING the uprisIt was at the time of colonies In ings among the Spanish South America when5 revolutionists followed the lead of Bolivar the lib-- era tor that the statesman In the capital of Peru became alarmed about the probable fate of the vast treasure of that city This was in the first years of the nineteenth century When it was reported that revolu- ticnists were about to march u Lima the fathers of the city loo about for a way to escape with their riches They employed the only disengaged large vessel In the harbor which was the Mary Dear British under command of Captain Tomson or as it is sometimes written Thompson For a certain sum Tomson agreed to transport the treasure from Lima to Spain or to any intermediate port the owners might decide upon A week was spent in loading the ship with gold and silver precious stones golden statues altar plate money and gold and silver bars When she sailed out of Lima harbor the Mary Dear carried a treasure reputed to be worth forty million dollars Once out on the high seas Tom-se- n called his bully boys and had them throw all the grandees overboard He then made for Cocos island where the treasure was put away in It er - a cave WELL KNOWN PIRATE He Joined Benito Ron! to a well-knopirate of that day and the two went out after more loot Tom-se- n wn felt that the treasure of Lima to retire to divide a canny of lookof want and penury The story generally accepted says that the pirates were overtaken by an avenging warship and that Ben-N- o Bonito committed suicide All the others except two were killed The two Including Captain Tom- ton were permitted to live when they represented to the navy men that they could lead them to the Lima treasure on Cocos island The were taken to the island prisoners r eaped there and fled into the interior where they lived for & long time A whaler took off the two refugees half dead and one of them died aboard the whaler The survivor was Tomson It was in 1844 that Tomson turned up in Newfoundland the guest of a certain

Captain Boag feet deep which had been dug by They found the cave with a stone selected as the site of the treasure- some other party that had thought slab for door that turned upon an cave this time and the party chopaxis disclosing the most dazzling treasure that ever the eyes of man have rested upon That night the crew mutinied demanding a share of the treasure that the bosses had found There was plenty to go around but treasure always makes men mad with avarice Keating and Boag promised to share with the crew but slipped away In the night In a rowboat and hid In the Interior of the Island until the crew had sailed away with the ship They couldn’t bear to divide the treasure so they stayed there with It Keating came away from the Island on a whaler several months later and returned to Newfoundland a-ft- with about fifteen thousand dollars’ worth of gold which was all he could carry about his person Tradition says Keating locked Boag within the treasure cave to starve Anyway Boag was never seen again TWO EXPEDITIONS Captain Campbell obtained Keating's map with the cross mark at the site of the treasure Keating’s death occurred about 1370 and the map has passed through several hands and had Inspired at least two expeditions directly There had been many expeditions that had gone to Cocos without the map Lee Guinness owned a yacht Campbell owned the map Together they would get the treasure They took along shovels and spades dynamite arid food The Adventuress was a yacht of 250 tons There teas a crew of 12 and there were five gentlemen adventurers including Campbell and Guinness One of the adventurers was an old sea captain They found two inlets where boats could land One Is Wafer bay and the other Chatham bay The chart indicated that the treasure was to be found by stepping off forty paces In a certain direction from the place where high tide touched In the creek bed and then turning and pacing some more But there was uncertainty as to the creek referred to and the treasure hunters were not even sure Into which bay the creek flowed However they selected a creek that flowed Into Chatham bay as the one They waited giving most promise for the high tide to make its mark paced off the forty paces and then looked off In the direction indicated by the chart No bare rock such as described in the chart was found in the direction Indicated Unless — and here the party paused and disagreed—unless a certain rock out In the surf was meant Campbell was of opinion that this was Indeed the rock of the treasure cave The map said that the rock would be recognized by a hole big enough to take a man’s thumb into which an Iron bar was to be inserted In order to open the door to the cave ROCK IN SURF Eventually Campbell made his way out to the rock In the surf and examined it all over In search of the keyhole but failed to find it Next day there was exploring Inland A party chopped its way through the Jungle uphills to a big rock That was a tough day’s work and nothing found Next day the Adventuress weighed anchor and went to Wafer bay since a majority decided that it was this bay that was outlined In the chart The treasure hunters found a beautiful bay with a beach a fine creek a good swimming pool some d — r EASING THE BLOW 48 IN SECOND GEAR 65 HORSEPOWER RICH BROADCLOTH UPHOLSTER INTERNAL BRAKES 4-WHEEL A new safety guard for street cars and
