1. 5% 5 be: 13 ROMANCE OF PIRATE - GOLD STIL LURES a Kidd's Treasure 3 " By Canadian Press) N.8., Aug. 2.--This sum- "the hoary legend of piratical re buried somewhere along 'east of Nova Scotia took a new Iéase on life and the ghost of Cap- tain. Kidd, cutlass, pistols and all, revived to haunt isolated harbors, Many amateur treasure seekers fur- tively resumed their operations with _apd shovel, but thus far no a gold has heen brought to 3 p Kidd, who according to a_i was a much-malign- ef mariner, is supposed to have scattered his loot in carefully select- ol hiding places along the coasts of: New England, Nova Scotia and New Shay If all the local legends are true, then he must have f pnt the greater part of his life not acquiring gold, but in buryipy it, Rt ied Is scarcely a harbor from Vie fa to the Miramichi which has | of At one time or another claimed to' 188988 ope of his hoards. One is forced to the conclusion that the dreaded bucanneer led the unro- mantic existence of a navvy, For many vears a small group of islandg in Mahone Bay, near Chester, was strongly favored by adherents cf the legend. Occasionally some enthusiast unearthed a scrap of old ship wreckage, 3 rusted axe, or even a solitary coin. These finds streng- thened the believers and brought new copverts to the cult of Captain Kidd. No actual treasure was ever dipeovered, but there are still those who believe that the pot of gold is jupt around the corner for them. Years ago a particularly-fayored is- land was christened Captain Kidd's Island. Whether or not the treasure myth is entirely without foundation, it has given birth to a varied littey of minor legends, each with its indi- vidual twist and dash of local col- or. Supernatural agencies are call- ed in to heighten the romance of these folk tales. Thus a wild and secluded cove near Saint John. N.B., is gredited with the special guard- ianship of a titular demon of the old bucanneer's. Fisher folk will tell you, more by implication than by direct statement, that the cove undoubtedly harbors a fabulous wealth of doubloons, pieces of eight, rings and precious stones, but that indescribable dangers beset the path of the would-be treasure hunters. Ope venturesome romanticist sal- lied forth at night, ariped with spade and lantern. When he was found in the morning he was a gib- bering maniac. Others who claim to have braved the unknown horrors relate that, when they had dug a few feet below the surface of the sand, their lights were extinguished end 'a2 thunderous voice ordered them to be gone. : It is highly probable that the captain, who is reputed to have been a thrifty man, did salt away some if bis "earpings"' against a rainy day. His known addiction to islands #nd caves probably arose from the fact that he was not in good odor with the banks of his day. So there is still 8 chance that one of the my- i riod cosstal legends will turn out to be truth and that some credulous fisherman will blossom into a mu lionairg overnight. - REFRESHMENTS Sots Brinks, Ico Creaw, spd beara { hE rite~ Jat OF: Copyright 1937, Jitan Newspmper Service BRINGING UP FATHER -- AR THI® LAMP HAD | BEEN BURNING IN THIS PALACE FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS IT " HAS NEVER BEEN OUT! i Desf THIS 19 ALL VERY FINE -BUT 1% THERE A CCOOD WwW BURLES QUE SHO IN TURKEY pl il THIS WAS THE KINGS =I] DEN - pr) "TELLING TOMMY" WHERE DID JIT WAS NAMED FOR HUDSON BAY 8f HENRY HUDSON THE GET ITS NAME, EXPLORER WHO DISCOVERED IT, TOMMY, i ATLANTIC occAar [ery HUDSON EXPLORED THE HUDSON RIVER, HUD 50M BAY, - AND HUDSON STRAT, ALL OF YIHICH WERE NAMED FOR HIM, AN 3 16/0 HENRY HUDSON EMBARKED W IF ON HIS LAST VOYAGE IN SEARCH OF A NORTHWEST PASSAGE T0 ASIA.
