Tho tall ship that accompanied tho Arabella was o Spanish vessel of twenty-six guns, the Santiago from Puerto* Rico with a hundred and twenty thousand weight of cacao, forty thousand pieccfs of eight, and tho value of ten thousand more in jewels. A rich capture of which two- fifths under the articles wont to \^ vasseur and his crew. Of tho money and jewels a division was made on the spot, Tho cacao it was agreed should bo taken to Tortuga to be sold. Then it was the turn of Levasscur, and black grew th© brow of Captain Blood as th© Frenchman's talo was unfoldeil. At tho end he roundly ex precKed his disapproval. The Dutch were a friendly people whom It was a folly to alienate, particularly for so paltry a matter a» these hides and tobacco, which at most would fetch n bare twenty thousand pieces. But Ijcvasscur answered him that a ship was a ship, and it was ships they needed. Perhaps bec«.us© things hfld pone well with him that day, Blooil ended by Hh rugging tho matter aside. Thereupon Ixvnsseur proposed that the Arabella and her prize should return to Tortuga «uid there to unload the cacao and enlist further ad'ven/- turers that could now be shipped. \je- va.«Beur meanwhile would effect cer- tain necessary repairs, and then pro- ceeding south, aw>ait hie admiral at Saltatudos, an island conveniently situated.

Interesting Finds Made On Seashore "London streets are paved with gold," runs the optimistic old ballad, but the possibilities of tho seashore are a much more hopeful n'oiw^ltton. Valuables are often picked up !>•• tween the high and low tiue-mai-Ks at ! aaaalde resorts, and a search in caves where the waves wash dally In and out, or along rock crevices ami sbelres where flotsam and Jetsam lodge, may well bring its own reward, writes J. V. in the London Dally Ex- preaa. Tear after year, rings, watches, brooches, bracelets, cigarette cases, purses and money are lost In the beach by holiday-makers, and either burled In the sand or washed out to sea. Their owners rarely see or hear of them again, but the professional beachcombers know where to hunt for aucb treasure-trove. Tt is aatonlshlng how beach loot can travel. There waa a queer case, last year, for instance, when a midlander dropped a wallet, containing £600 In notes, on a North Wales beach, and had It returned a fortnight later. It bad been washed up at Formby, In Lancashire, twenty miles distant from Prestatyn, where It was lost. All sorts ot Interesting finds have been made along the shores ot Selsey Bill, where the sea Is encroaching more and more upon the soft crum- bling flats, disturbing the mud and sand, wherein He burled relics of the past, such as Roman coins, tiles, or- naments, and once â€" only a few years ago â€" the skeleton ot a mammoth.. At Selsey, and at East aud West Wittering, close by It, the seeker may find agates. Cromer, too. Is an agate ground, as are some other E^ast Coast resorts; cornelians are quite common In Wales, and have been found on the Suffock shores. Scarborough Is fa- mous for Ito let, and both Suffolk and the north-east coast sometimes yield amber. The longshore hunter cherishes al- ways the faint hope that he may light upon ambergls, the precious secre- tion of the sperm whale, though it Is rarely, washed up in our home waters. Southern seas are more likely hunting grounds and good finds are occasion- ally made off India, Africa, and Bra- zil. Some Norwegian seamen, whaling In Australian seas a few years ago, caught a whale which proved to he ExiiibitiM IfisilBrs Call te S«« th« New IMS Model Harlay-Oavldaon Metoreycia, with It's front wheel brake, new olHng aystam' and carburetor, which makea it Iha' most up-to-date motorcycle.
