A hundred yards to the east hi treasure chest, con taining several hundred thousand dollars in gold and jewels, was dug from the shore of an adjacent inlet after hi death. Jame Lafitte, a pirate, slaretraden soldier in the service of the United States, a naval oftleer in the service of Cartagena and last of all gentleman of leisure at Norfolk, was born at Bordeaux, France in 1780. He made a trip to the island of Mauritius in 1803 and there fell in love with a beautiful girl, Utett Fondac. She threw herself in front of Lafitte in a duel in which he became in volved through his infatuation for her and the bullet intended for him pieived ber heart Lafitte was so maddened with grief at her death that he was with difficulty restrained from suicide. He turned to piracy a being the only ocupatioD fierce enough to obliterate his grief. The vesel in which he began hi piratical career was headed for the Car ribean Sea. where for tunny year he was the terror of all nation. Finally, after many years of prosperity, he was captured by a British man- of-war. He was released by his brother Pierre, who was one of the crew of the warship. The brothers then began bucannering on a larger scale than ever. Not long after his escape from the Britixh ship, Jean Lafitte had several well-armed Blip manned by desperadoes from all lands. The Republic of Cartagena gave a com mission to him to serve against Spain. With this to give esrablanee to legality to his operations he settled down in New Orleans, prosecuting his piracies in the gui of warfare. After a time the pi rates becoming too open in their attacks on neutral merchant ships the limed State government Kent Commodore Patterson against Uij-in headquaei revealed the contents Jewels and gold to te value of thouand of dollars.

Soon after this Jean Lafitte's services pre solicited by the British govern nient in their attack on New Orleans He wa offered $30,000 in gold and commiwion it he would ngiii aguinsi the Americans. Instead of accepting this offer Lafitte informed Governor C!ai borne of Louisiana of it and offered to serve against the British if he were granted a pardon and his brother re leased from the New Orleans jail. Gov ernop Claiborne pardoned him and the Lafitte pirates fought with great distinc tion against the Britinh. President Madi son not only confirmed Governor Clai borne's pardon but offered Lafitte a com- midon in the navy. This was refused History next tells us" of Lafitte as be ing a respectable man of affairs in Phila delphia, From Philadelphia he moved to Sewcll's Point on Hampton Roads near Norfolk where he built a home he called "Bordeaux Manor." Here he died in 1850 leaving all his property exceut "Bordeaux Manor" to his daugher Mrs. Clarkson. Bordeaux Manor an unde cipherable combination of numbers scrawled on a sheet were left to Jean Clarkson. his grandson. The Civil War and the dishonesty of an attorney nam ed Dean reduced the Clarkson estate to poverty. Jean made several attempts to decipher the puzzle that was part of his inheritance but without success About 1860 he fell in with an old man, Pierre Lafitte, who had turned up in Norfolk quite by chance. Clarkson was pleased with the old man's tales of his wander ings and pirate life and took him home to live with him. He did not connect Pitnte Lafitte with his grandfather as he did not know Jean Lafitte had been a pira.te. Showing the jumble of number left him by his grandfather one day Pierre, the old pirate promptely trans lated it with the aid of the code the buccaneers had used. It then read: "Jean Clarkson. when you are 25 years of age, at the end of a line, 300 feet east from the front doorway of Bordeaux Manor dig for your inheritance." With the aid of the old corsair Jean dug one moonlight night and hauled up rusty, bras-bound chest from a spot that wais covered by water at high tide.
