By PIERRE LA TOUR 1 International Illustrated News Writer ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y.— Attempts to raise the Sir Robert r ] Peel, British naval vessel sunk 100 , years ago near here, have focussed attention once again on Bill ] Johnston, swashbuckling buccaneer who once terrorized the Thousand Islands. 1 . Johnston, self-styled “Admiral of 1 the Thousand Isles”, embarrassed both the governments of Canada and the United States by organiz- : ! ting a band of pirates to liberate Canada from British rule during ■ ;the so-called Patriot’s war. 1 Claiming to hold a commission as commander-in-chief of the Pa- ' i triot naval forces, he boarded the Peel on the night of May 29, 1838, as she lay at a wood-fueling station on Wellesley island. Set Fire to Ship Quickly overcoming the crew, Johnston's men drove the passengers off*the ship and set her adrift. 1 After firing her hull, they escaped to their island hideout. Following this escapade, both I governments set a high price on Johnston's head, but in the myriad hidden channels of the St. Law-

rence, the pirate remained free to: a long time. Favorite den of the fugitive was the Devil's Oven, where visitors now view the stone-sheathed cave which afforded Johnston seclusion. It lies upstream from Alexandria Bay, near the historic Boldt castle. Was Gold Recovered? Becoming ever bolder, Johnston continued his piracies, and eventually was captured near Watertown, N. Y. Pardoned by President William Henry Harrison, he later was appointed keeper of the Sunken Rock light. No one knows definitely whether Johnston's men were able to take the $150,000 in gold coin that the Peel carried. It is known, however, that the money was never paid to the Canadian troops at Toronto, for whom it was intended. Raising of the ship has a twofold purpose. The local businessmen sponsoring the project will recover the gold if it is still aboard, and they will exhibit the ship’s remains at the Alexandria dock. The boat now lies in about 60 feet of water, where its outline may be seen by workmen on the new Thousand Islands bridge. Professional divers soon will probe the wreck to determine if it contains the fabulous treasure chest.
