_Luzon_. One of the Philippine Islands. Near Calumpit, in the swamps
of the Rio Grande, the Chinese Mandarin, Chan Lee Suey, buried his
incalculable wealth soon after the British captured Manila in 1762.
His jewels were dazzling, and a string of pearls, bought from the
Sultan of Sulu, was said to be the finest in the Orient.

_Nightingale Island_. Near Tristan da Cunha. South Atlantic. One
chest of pirate's silver was found here and brought to the United
States, but much more is said to remain hidden.

_Tobermory Bay_. Island of Mull. Western Scotland. Wreck of the
galleon _Florencia_ of the Spanish Armada. Said to have contained
thirty millions of treasure. Permission to investigate must be
obtained from His Grace, the Duke of Argyll.

_Vigo Bay_. Coast of Spain. Spanish plate fleet sunk by the English
and Dutch. A trifling matter of a hundred million dollars or more are
waiting for the right man to come along and fish them up. Treasure
seekers had better first consult the Spanish Government at Madrid in
order to avoid misunderstandings with the local officials.

_East River_. Manhattan Island, New York. Wreck of the British
frigate _Hussar_ which carried to the bottom, in 1780, more than two
and a half million dollars in gold consigned to the paymasters of the
army and naval forces that were fighting the American forces of George
Washington. She was sailing for Newport and struck a rock nearly
opposite the upper end of Randall's Island, sinking one hundred yards
from shore.

_Oak Island_. Nova Scotia. Near Chester. Unmistakable remains of a
deep shaft sunk by pirates and an underground connection with the bay.
A company is now digging, and will probably sell shares at a reasonable
price. Buying shares in a treasure company is less fatiguing than
handling the pick and shovel oneself.

_Isthmus of Panama_. Directions somewhat vague. Sir Francis Drake
left part of the loot of old Panama concealed along his line of
retreat, but none of his crew was considerate enough to transmit to
posterity a chart marked with the proper crosses and bearings.

_Dollar Cove_. Mount's Bay, Cornwall. Wreck of treasure ship _Saint
Andrew_, belonging to the king of Portugal. Driven out of her course
from Flanders to a home port in 1526. An ancient document written by
one Thomas Porson, an Englishman on board states that "by the Grace and
Mercy of God, the greater part of the crew got safely to land," and
