There were bales. boxes ` and barrels he had not. attempted to open. and he believed -the contents of the `cave would pan out $1,000,000 and ballast a trading brig. It was a very dignied and respectable rm. that of Daypne.& 00.. but it got down off its high horse pretty fast to make a bar- gain with Barcas to bring that treasure away and dodge customs oicials and government authorities. What they otfered to do after a consultation was to tiout a ship. `bring the stutl olf, convert it into cash and gives him a quarter.
