urtenances. Specially recommendeded.

_The Salvages_. A group of small islands to the southward of Madeira.
Two million dollars of silver in chests, buried by the crew of a
Spanish ship in 1804. They killed their captain and laid him on top of
the treasure, wherefore proper precautions must be taken to appease his
ghost before beginning to dig.

_Cape St. Vincent_. West coast of Madagascar. The wreck of a
Dutch-built ship of great age is jammed fast between the rocks. Gold
and silver money has been washed from her and cast up on the beach, and
a large fortune still remains among her timbers. Expeditions are
advised to fit out at Mozambique.

_Venanguebe Bay_, thirty-five miles south south-west of Ngoncy Island
on the east coast of Madagascar. A sunken treasure is supposed to be
not far from the wreck of the French frigate _Gloire_ lost in 1761.
Expeditions will do well to keep a weather eye lifted along all this
coast for the treasures of the pirates who infested these waters in the
days of Captain Kidd.

_Gough Island_, sometimes called Diego Alvarez. Latitude 40 deg. 19' S.
Longitude 9 deg. 44' W. It is well known that on this unfrequented bit
of sea-washed real estate, a very wicked pirate or pirates deposited
ill-gotten gains. The place to dig is close to a conspicuous spire or
pinnacle of stone on the western end of the island, the name of which
natural landmark is set down on the charts as Church Rock.

_Juan Fernandez_. South Pacific. Famed as the abode of Robinson
Crusoe who was too busy writing the story of his life to find the
buccaneer's wealth concealed in a cave, also the wreck of a Spanish
galleon reputed to have been laden with bullion from the mines of Peru.

_Auckland Islands_. Remote and far to the southward and hardly to be
recommended to the amateur treasure seeker who had better serve his
apprenticeship nearer home. Frequently visited by expeditions from
Melbourne and Sydney. In 1866, the sailing ship _General Grant_, bound
from Australia to London, was lost here. In her cargo were fifty
thousand ounces of gold. In a most extraordinary manner the vessel was
driven by the seas into a great cavern in the cliff from which only a
handful of her people managed to escape. They lived for eighteen
months on this desert island before being taken off. The hulk of the
_General Grant_ is still within the cave, but the undertow and the
great combers have thus far baffled the divers.
