Cocos Gold Report Recalls Jolly Roger Era ♦ ♦ ♦ * * ♦ Conflicting Stories From Treasure-Hunting Expedition Tell Os $60,000,000 In Pirate Loot, Cached On Island by British Buccaneer. ’ A J f 2 kA S E EU; ’ CENTRAL BFf AMERICA f PACIFIC N H “ mJmBHHb .«• (J > Capt A B Vhiddem Cop JE L-eckic I eH .'cocos'. / I |Hbi| ViEtv </ SEACH ■MeL’sl:*--■» *■ * -■■■! ~ .. . I The days when “Sixteen men on a dead man s chest” was a popular ballad are recalled by the report front Cocos Island that a fabulous sum in pirate gold has been located by an American expedition, headed by Colonel J. E. Leckie, which left Los Angeles last March in the good ship Silver Wave, skippered by A. B. Whidden. Though Cocos authorities have denied the report, it is generally accepted that there is a pirate treasure cache somewhere on the island, which has been the object of a search by no less than 25 expeditions in the last 25 years. One of these expeditions was led by Captain Malcolm Campbell, famous auto racer, and strangely enough, the report of the present find which was sent to San Francisco by Captain R. D. Adams,.pf Lindsay, Cal., a member of the expedition, gives the location of the treasure as being only 36 yards from the spot where Campbell had his camp, while on Cocos. The value of the loot is estimated al $60,000,000, but there is probably a cipher or so too many. It is said to have been buried on the island by a Captain Graham, British naval officer who turned buccaneer. In those days there were hijackers, just as there are today, so the gallant captain planted his hard-won booty where it would be safe from rival outfits of the Jolly Roger. However, none of the stories told of the treasure makes any attempt to explain why Graham never returned to recover his hoard.

SAX FRANCISCO — "Pieces of eight, pieces of eight." the monotonous cry of old John Silver’s 1 loquacious pprrot runs through our head as we hear the report that a, fabulous sum in pirate gold has i been located in the Cocos Island.; one-time stamping ground for the I colorful free-booters of the Pacific. The treasure, the value of which is estimated at 160,000.000. is said ) to have been found by an expedition. headed by Colonel J. E. Lee-I kie and W. S. Clayton, which left I Los Angeles last March aboard the good ship Silver Wave, skip- 1 pared by Captain A. B. Whidden. , it is more than probable that too | many cyphers have been included In the amount of the treasure, if' there is any treasure. Oh yes, I there's an if" to it; for while Captain R. 1). Adams, of Lindsay. Cal.,' who is a member of the expedition, i insists that the gold has been! found, other authorities are equal-i ly insistent that the report is, to | say the least, premature. However, a treasure hunt is always thrilling, whether the net re-) suit is disappointment or the find ) ing of gold, and there are several interesting aspects to the search | for the pirate booty in the Cocos. In the first place, according to] Adams' report, the buried booty was located with a gold-divining: device called the metalaphone, an apparatus perfected by science for; French Premier Is Given Approval Vote Paris, July 12 (UP)— Premie: • Edward Herriot won his second vote of confidence in the Chanber 1 of deputies today, while an all night session continued well toward noon, when the government's financial reform program was approved. 385 to 201.

Many such devices have been tried on several occasions and it has been found that the best , that can be said for them is that' . they have a fairly good average.). The instrument is used in a similar manner to the hazel divining) rod used by old prospectors in the search for water —and sometimes', oil. Another interesting aspect of the story is that Captain Adams'; message gives the location of the I pirate cache as being only 30 yards ) from the spot where an expedi-l lion, headed ly Captain Malcolm' Campbell. famous auto racer.), camped while seeking that same' hidden loot. Campbell at the time) , professed himself confident that he was on the right track and had intended to return for another attempt. The story of the treasure has) been told probably a million’or so limes wherever senmen gather ami such a number of different versions exist that it is impossible to) make any accurate guess as to) which is the authentic one. However. it is generally conceded that the bold, bad buccaneer who plant-, ed his ill-gotten hoard on the lonely island was a Cantain Gra ham. who strayed from the! straight and narrow path he was; compelled to tread as an officer; in the British Navy and took to) piracy. 25 years before one of his compositions was published.

It seems that contrary to what we have been led to believe there ’ was no honor among thieves in the days when "Sixteen men sitting on a dead man's < hest" was a popular | song. That period had its hijackers. jus’ as wo have them today, | and an honest pirate never knew the hour or the minute when a rival outfit, sailing under the Jollv Roger, would swoon down on him and strin him of his hard won loot, making him walk the plank into the bargain. It was fear of hijackers thatl prompted Captain Graltem to cache | his golden hoard on Cocos. Blit of si! the stories told al>out the treasure nrwe has ever ventured to express an opinion as to whv the pirate cantain failed to return and | retrieve it. It may b» that he suf-: sered the fate of other buccaneer: chiefs and was slain bv a mntin-. ons crew, or he mav have been) kil'ed in one of his piratical enter-' prises. Whatever the gallant captain's end. he left a riddle behind that ( has drawn no less than 26 treas-ure-seeking expeditions to the island in the last 25 years. The island is under Costa Rican jurisdiction and. according to the) report from Captain Adams, the) successful expedition has worked, under protection of that government. which privided a guard to keep intruders away until the treasure, if any, is removed.
