MYSTERY SOLVED AFTER 30 YEARS

HOIST BY THEIR OWN

DYNAMITE

The true explanation of one of the greatest treasure-hunting my steries of recent times-a mystery which puzzled the whole world—is given, after nearly 30 years, by Mr. David T. Smith in the current Issue of "Blackwood's Magazine." The article is entitled "El Dorado." In October, 1904, a party of men salled from Southampton in a ship which had been specially purchased and provialoned. They followed in the wake of the Russian Fleet, kwhich was on its way to flight the Japanese, and which had, in a panke, fired on British fishing boats on the Dogger Bank the previous night.

The ship called at acveral ports on its way to the Pacific, and in- forroed all and sundry who chose to Inquire that this was a scientific expedition bent on exploring the tropica for rare orchida and minerals story which was not always received with. unfeigned

Outward Bound

Mr. Smith's article describes the outward voyage, admitting from the start that he was taking part "in what was perhaps the largest and best-equipped expedition, since the days of Francis Drake, to leave England in search of Spanish doubloons, pieces of eight, and gold and silver cups and Ingots,”
