having just the right men for
captains of their vessels. Men who, beside being capable navigators, are
also alive to the comfort of those who are temporarily in their charge.
Still, another route is by the Great Western Railway from Weymouth.

I would add a final word to those who are about to hie _abroad_ for a
genial climate, for beautiful scenery, or to see something not to be
seen elsewhere. Have they thought of the Channel Islands? If not, let
them try a month there, and if they are not pleased, there is the French
coast only twenty miles away. Should they not have gained all they
expected in a visit, they will at least have acquired one thing, and
that is a month's health.

MODERN TREASURE.

Although the spoil we discovered on Jethou was worth a very considerable
amount, yet it appears quite insignificant beside some modern treasure
which has been either sought after or found, as the following items,
clipt from the London newspapers for July, 1891, will shew:--

"A Dalziel's telegram from Berlin reports that a large treasure of gold
coins, of the size of twenty-mark pieces, has been found at Beuthen, in
Silesia. Part of them bear the date 1508. There are reported to be a
million coins in all."

"His Majesty King James II. of England certainly gave a good deal of
trouble during his lifetime, and is now proving a nuisance indirectly in
a very extraordinary way, one hundred and ninety years after his death.
According to an ancient local legend, James, who died at Saint
Germain-en-Laye, hid away somewhere in the neighbourhood of the
monastery of Triel, the royal crown of England, the sceptre, and other
baubles of a total value of some L2,000,000. For more than forty years
past the owners of the estate on which are the ruins of the monastery,
have sought for the regalia by digging long trenches in all directions,
always starting from the building itself. This having become a serious
danger to the neighbouring village, the mayor is taking steps to prevent
any further delving by the seekers after hidden treasure."
