Among the guaifls wero a young Americau whose name is given as Kd- mond Harris, a.Hollauder named Van Vleck, from Kotterdani, and one Michael Doohey, nu Irishman. Their business was to care for tbe marina dredges iu the "Boca,"or western oud III the caual trench, uenr the barboi' of Panama. A small steam-launch was provided iu which they made their rounds, and nn holidays they some¬ times used this boat for excursions to other points on the bar. Tlie must in¬ terestiug of these jaunts, nud one at¬ tended hy a curious adventure, was to the ruins uf Panama Viejo (Old Pau- nma), six or eight miles sontb of the modern city. I
Old Panama, the city flrat built by the Spnuiarda when nt tbo 7.ouitb of their New World piosperitv, was takeu, plundered nn.l burned by tbe buecaueer Morgan iu liiTl. Foraccn- tury it ha.1 beeu the richest ciiy of the Western Hemisphere, coutaiuiug at onetime fully sereuty thou'aud in¬ babitants, aud beiug called from its positiou, "Tho (Into ot tho Xew World." Hither were brought the spoils of I'eru, by I'iznrro, and gold ' nnd silver in vnst i|Uautities from the uewly opened miue.s, A well paved I highway couuected it with Puerto ' Bello, on tbe .Mlantic side of the isthinua, '
great surprise, the rouud, bullet-like objects proved to be lor^o pearls, some of them very beautiful. There were a hundred ond forty nine ol tbem.
Vau Vleck, who had seen jewels and pearls iu Holland, was ot the opiuion that they were of great value.
Tueir flrst tboiit;bt, after looking nt the Contents of the bottle, was to search the hole in tho wall for further treasure. Tbey found uotliiug except a small, moldering box with silver crockets at tho corners. This being opened, wns found to contain discol¬ ored pniL-hmenta, evidently of the na¬ ture ot royal letters, or deeds of gift 111- convejanoe, au.l also exactly a hundred Spanisb gold coins of appar¬ ently about tbe weight nud value of a doubloon.
"Well, Mike, thia is yonr find," Harris said to bias. "I congi-atulato you.- •
"Faith, tbc'i, how wild I have fouud it if yez hadn't pulled me ont of the ould well? Tell me thai, sor!" ex¬ claimed Mike.
"What is ;^iur idea, tbeu?" asked Hurris.
