An Unsuccessful Hunt
(The Pathfinder)
A crumpled, <ipe-worn chart,
purporting to have been drawn
by a dying pirate in 1348, indi
cated that $1,250 was hidden on
Swan islan I, in the Caribbean
, se^, off British Honduras.
Guided by this chart a party
of men started from New Or
leans a few months ago for the
island.
The island was found all right
and sever a : i « 1 : 1 indicated
on the chart were identified.
However, after digging unsuc
cessfully for several days the
men could not agree as to
where they could search next.
The discussion developed into
a general row and all returned
ome, poorer than when they
*ift.
Piougn Turned Up Fortune
I
Henry Damoron, employed as a
farm h ind by his uncle in Vir
ginia and working from sunup
rill sundow fora stipend of $10
monthly, had often dreamed of
finding a fortune and buying a
farm of his own.
I His dream unexpectedly be
| came a reality a few weeks ago
when his plow turned up a buck
skin wrapped metar pot in a
mountainside field.
Inside the pot he found about
$13,000 in gold coins, $500 in
silver and some paper currency
the latter so badly decayed that
the denomination could not be
determined.
The latest date on any of the
coins was lb’23,
Another Find
While working in a garden at
Clinton, Miss, two negro boys
dug up an iron pot containing
$5000 in gold.
It is believed that the rnon§y
was buried at the time of the
Civil war.
The boys naturally insist that
“findin’s is keepin’s” but their
ownership of the money is dis
puted.
