Flagship of Commander of
“Invincible Armada.”
Little did the duke of Medlna-Sfdo-
nla, admiral In chief of the Invincible
Armado, dream, as with high hopes he I
set sail from the Tagus on Muy 29,
15S8, that his great galleon, the Flor
encia, would be sunk off Tobermory,
on the coast of Scotland, and would
be supplying treasure trove to adven
turous spirits more than three centu
ries Inter in the year of grace 1919.
The Florencia, which was popularly
reported to be tille«! with gold, jewels
and silver plate, tied northward with
her sister vessels in frantic attempt
to get back to Spain by rounding the
north of Scotland after the fateful war
council had decided to abandon the
unequal tight Iu the narrow seas of the
English channel. This was the deci
sion which caused Sir Francis Drake
to write jubilantly to Walslnghamr on
July 31: “There was never anything
pleased me better than the seeing the
enemy flying with a southerly wind to
tlie northward.• We have the Span
iards before us, and mind, with the
grace of God, to wrestle a pull with
them.”
The doomed ship had reached To
bermory when MacLean of Morven by
a well-directed shut succeeded in set
ting tire to her powder magazine. The
resultant explosion scattered the ves
sel and her contents far and wide over
the sea bed. The immense wealth
which she was believed to have on
board- has from that time to this ex
ercised over many minds as potent a
fascination and spell ns ever was
wielded by dreams of discovering the
treasures hidden by the buccaneers
who sulled the southern seas.
At length; nfter several desultory
attempts at reaching her, a salvage
company was formed in 1903, and op-
erations, begun then, have been con-’
intermittently
ever since.

Enough was discovered to encourage
perseverance, though not to reward
enterprise — blunderbusses, swords,
scabbards, a bronze cannon and a few
doubloons. Several recent signs, how
ever, Indicate that the searchers are
at last on the right track and will soon
strike the main hull. Then, If ever,
should the ship’s strong! old yield up
it’s long-lost treasure and add one
more to the romances of the deep.

In some recent reminiscences
Henry G. Barnwell says that the
literary men of his acquaintance
possessed tlie greatest capacity for in
dignation were William Morris and
Charles Reade. Morris was perhaps
the more explosive; but his tempera
mental outbursts were soon over and
lind rarely any sequel. Tlie violence
of Charles Reade, though frequently
It, too, passed like a summer tempest,
was sometimes the precursor of a
prolonged literary or legal battle; for
he had a passion for litigation.
“Assassination is too good for hlrn;
the miscreant ought to be boiled In
oil!” Mr. Barnwell once heard Morris
roaring as he came Into his presence,
Inquiry brought out the fact that the
villainy for which such punishment
was deemed suitable was the crime of
placing the pockets of a new suit in
their conventional position instead of
arranging them In a novel and Inter
esting manner, suggested by Morris.
But the unimaginative tailor was not
boiled; moreover, when, shortly af
terward, he fell Into difficulties», it was
Morris who advanced him money
enough to set him on his feet again.
Possibly Reade, who also was n gen
erous-hearted man, might at need have
shown equal magnanimity toward a
cobbler who aroused his ire. The man
had been recommended by his friend,
Wilkie Collins, and the next time the
two novelists met Reade lifted his
voice from afar.
“Confound you 1” he shouted ira**-
cibly. “That cobbler you sent to me
is a fraud—a rascal—a rogue—a
triple-dyed villain! He ought to be
Clicked with his own shoe pegs!”
Wilkie Collins, laughing, attempted
some defense of his protege; but
Reade would not listen. Lifting ills
hands to heaven like an Oriental call
ing down the vengeance of the gods,
he declared impressively, in true east
ern style:
“May the heels of the conscience
less wretch who recommended such a
colibler lie blistered, and may his
joints be cramped! May bunions vis
it his great toe and corns sit upon his
little one. and tlie wrath of the enemy
destroy his sole!”
Then, satisfied with the achievement
of an impromptu curse nt once harm
less and horrifying, he accepted Col
lins' invitation to luncheon, and the
two walked nmlcably away together.

The existence of petroleum, It is re
potted, has been dellnltely established
near Punta Arenas and In the north-
west of Tierra del Fuego. The fre
quency of the emanations ef natural

the actual drilling, but will continue to

view to giving all aid to tbs search for
