Xutfierous searches for buried treasure have beer, made on (iaiwston Is'and, where, according to tradition, LaP.tto and his followers made their 1 endouurtors and sailed the u'nters al ?ng the coast of Texas and Louisiana, laying tributes on ev< ry craft that w s unfortunate enough to ntftke its appearance within their sight. Vast quantities of gold, silver and jewels were taken, much of which is said to have been buried in obscure covets and islets. Charts showing the locution of buried treasure were mad*. According to tradition the bui in! was done by the captain and one man. The 1. tter was killed and hurled in the si.me hole above the iron box s containing the treasure. Symbols Cut on Trees.

It was said j that tire pirate vessel bearing the ' ? ? : C treasure wan s<> i-i?w>j . Spaniards tliat th<' thieves cut their jv i cable and left their anchor.

After dig- ' ging a few feet some unseen power 0 seemed to seize him and he fled from j the place, returning- to his home, I I where he died in a few days. On another occasion t,wo men, hav- ' ' ing obtained the chart, went in search ' j of the treasure. They found the spot \ and the tools of the former fortune ' i seeker. The two men took turns in li digging-. They discovered a human j skeleton, which tliey removed. One ol the men was resting on the edge of the 1 | liole, expecting every minute to heart f his companion shout that lie had found ' ' the booty. Suddenly the man who had ' i been working climbed out of tlie exca- i N j vation, his face drawn and pale, and ' .clutching his companion's arm, said;!1 i a | "Come?for < Joel's sake, let us jet away. ! from here!" I I "What is the matter? What have; you seen?" asked his friend. "I have seen hell and its horrors. Come away from here. It will haunt f me the rest of my life." No other explanation could be got| ten from the man. He dragged his companion away and begged him, if he j ' valued his life, not to dig there again. I?New York Sun.
