It was only after we were out of sight of the Chinese coast that Semyo gave us the exact location of his treasure cache. We were to round the Bashee Islands, lying off the north coast of Luzon, and strike the coast at a river called the Batanen, after another island. Four. miles up this river which is navigable for about twenty miles, was the cache. We had a run of 350 miles across the China Sea to the Bashees, and along this north coast we found several traders. In order to appear all right, in casO WO were boarded by any Spanish vessel in these waters, we laid in some cargo here and took our time about sailing to the river.

After we had passed the Babuyan Islands and laid our course to the south we caught sight one day at noon of a felucca approaching us from theTHE Steamship cast, having rounded the cape. She few the Spanish flag, and Semyo said that she belonged to the const service. She had the right to board us and examine our papers, and while we had no fear of her on our own account it was probable that Semyo would be recognteed the moment they set eyes on him. We had our plans lald before she fired a gun as a signal to us to heave to, Semyo was bidden in the forepeak, and we burned sulphur in the forecastle behind him. By leaving the scuttle open the fumes were drawn away from the fugitive, and could be scented all Over the brig. We have to at the order of the felucca, and were presently boarded by the Spanish lieutenant. He was a very pompous chap, and it was probably his Intention to do a great dead of bossing around, but as he came over the tall a current of air carried him the smell of sulphur, and he exclaimed:
"Good Lord, but is your brig on fire in the . forecastle ?"
It was explained to him that we had lost a man of some malignant but unknown disease, and 'were fumigating the brig. Two or three of us were feeling badly, but hoped to escape the disease by steaming in the vapour, We were s trader, and offered to open the hatches and show our papers, but he was in a hurry. He didn't even notice our carronade, but hacked to the rail and descended to his boat, saying:
"Oh, you are doubtless all right, and I hope you will lose no more men. As for me, the service does not demand that I run the risks of epidemic."
Two days later we came to anchor in the river opposite a spot pointed out by Semyo. The bank of the stream was rough and broken, but thickly wooded. Forty rode inland was a high way running parallel with the stream, but this was hidden from us. On the far side of the high way was the treasure cache. As many boats were passing up and down, it was prudent that we resort to deception to prevent suspicion.
We got down a topgallantmast, slacked away some of the rigging, got a stage over the side for the carpenter, and appeared to be lying there for the sole purpose of making repairs. We were soon boarded by natives anxious to furnish cargo, and on the second day a goverament gunboat passed us without sceming to take any interest in our CASE, Serayo had to Ila concealed in the hold during daylight as coming aboard who knew him well, and it was about midnight on the second night after our arrival that we pulled ashore for the treasure -that is two men pulled Semyo off to the bank to see if it was all right, and it did not take hira many minutes to make a disagreeable discovery.

part, Next day, after some conspiring on our p the captain and I went ashore to the camp to make a bald move. There was a gang of thirty natives under a Spanish boss cutting ebony, and they had a large lot all ready for shipment. This gang
had been sent from the province of Cebu, bere the owner of the tract résided, and an agent was daily expected to sell the output, The boss we found to be an Ignorant, good- natured fellow, who could neither read nor write. While I claimed to be the real owner of the land on which they were at work the captain offered to buy some of the logs on the aly. "Between us we got him to remove his camp a mile away and to accept about $60 for logs. We not only accomplished this during the day, but showed cut. friendship and good will by sending a keg of whiskey to the camp, and by night the boss and his gang were as drunk as lords. As soon as it was dark four of us pulled ashore with Semyo, and he led us a straight trail to to the treasure. It was buried in two earthen jare against a bit of wall, and our of the camp fires of the gang had been bullt within ten feet of the spot. We had the jars out and on b and the brig in half an hour and an investigation proved that Semyo had rather figured under the actual amount. We had neither seen nor heard HE above steamer having arrived, Con-

About 2.o'clock in the morning the felucca dropped down with the tide, came to anchor about two cable lengths away and sent a boat to board us on the quiet. They were folled in this by the anchor watch who stood them off until the brig was aroused. The jars were placed In the cook's galley, Semyo secreted himself in the bold, and then the occupants of the boat were invited to come aboard. The officer in charge was lieutenant, and he was in high dudgeon over his reception. He demanded our papers, inspected the cargo and pointed to the carronade as proof that we were suspicious. He went off to report, but was in no hurry to return, and soon after daylight we saw a boat with seven or eight men leave the felucca and pull up the river. The tide was still running and there was a fair breeze, and we determined to cut sticks. Semyo said the best had gone to a village about four miles above probably to consult civil or military authorities, and that if we were seized it would be all up with all of us.

The felucca, as we could plainly see, had two brass six pounders, but we could not say that she would attempt to stop us. The minute we began the to make ready we saw an alarm on her deck. Before we had the anchor off the ground she sent a boat with the command that we must wait the return of our papers. We weighed, however, Set fail and sheeted home and while they were yelling at na we headed down the river. We were well out to sea when we espied the felucca following, and as she sailed two feet to our one she was within range before so o'clock. If captured now the Spanish Government would bang us all for conspiracy. We cracked on everything in the shape of sail, loaded our car. ronade and paid to attention to the felucca until positively obliged to. Her gunnery was so poor that we wondered if her guns had ever been fired before. She had at least twenty abots at us, but the closest call was when a ball passed through the flying jib..
She isn't over a quarter of a mile away when Our English gunnersighted his piscs and brought down her entire foremast and everything with it.
