Will Rogers’ Last Letter

Note to editors: Permission is given by McNaught Syndicate (and by Miller Services. Toronto) to publish the following last dispatch written by Will Rogers. ‘~

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

NEW YORK, Aug. l6--'I‘he last lines Will Rogers wrote in his long series of letters to editors ap- peared, by coincidence, in news-

and

“Fifteen men on the dead man's cheat- Yo-he-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

English literature has been great- ly enriched by the doings of the piratlcal gentlemen who. in the days when the British Empire was in the making, rcamed the seas under the more or less euphonious title of buccaneer or freebooter. Among those gentry were some who attained a wide and lasting fame, notably l-lenry Morgan, whose ex- ploits in the West Indies still form the theme for many stories and who was afterwards knighted. becoming Lieutenant-Governor oi the island of Jamaica, British West Indies. Another of tlvase notable fig es was Captain Kidd. Captafn Kidd was born in Scotland and early went to sea piiva-teering in the West Indies. In 109i he received $750.00 from the city of New York for protecting the cclony against pirates. In 1696 he was commis- sioned by Engla-nd to suppress ‘pir- acy and saiiled for Madagascar, headquarters of these nefarious gen- tlemen of those days. In the mean- time, rumours reached lijngland that

‘Klddhirnseli was doing some pir-

acy on the side and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Aft/er two years cruising about, Captain Kidd returned t: the West Indies and a few months later landed in Boston where he was arrested and sent by t‘ e Governor to England for trial. He was iound guilty, although pro- testing his innocence, and was hanged. Before going to Boston, Kidd buried a large treasure on ‘Gardiner-k Island eff Long Island. which was subsequently located and with what was recovered elsewhere is said to have amounted to aboot $70000.

The Spanish Main and the Car- ibbean Sea. were the great hunting grounds for these buccaneers. span- ish gaLleons richly ladened with loot from Mexico and Central. Am- erica was the magnet which drew them and Port Royal, located at the extreme end oi a spit 2f sand which protects Kingston Harbour. Jamaica was their headquarters. which earn- ed for the town the title of the lin- est in the West Indes and at the time the richest and probably most wicked spot in theworid-thai was in 1692. The Virgin Islands. three oi which are owned by the United States and others hy Great Britain. were familiar to these buccane. On Norman Island. in the Br‘ s group. are old pirate caves in cne of which an iron chest containing treasure was found some yxcors ago. The waters oi the Spanish Main and Caribbean Sen are becoming more familiar to Canadian and Americans

These last lines, sent from Fair- banks, Alaska, follow:

The comparatively close proximty oi the Atlantic coast oi Canada. particularly Nova Scotia, and the wildness oi the country at the time, furnished ideal hiding places for these freebooters and the southwes- tern sh~re cf the province is not without its legends of buried pirate gold.

Out where the waves from the Atlantic oii the southwestern shON oi Nova. Scotia roll in among the 365 islands in Mahone Bay, oli Chester, there is one, Oak Island. which stands out from all the rest in point of interest. It is not much in point oi size as islands go but what it lacks iri size it makes up for in its connection with the fam- ous freebooter, Captain Kidd. The very name oi the bay is suklestiva of prate lore ior it is derived from the French word "mahonne" for a law-lying craft used by pirates. If all the places where this famous pirate is supposed to have buried treasure were able to be located and the treasure dug up. it would prob- ably make qulie a tidy sum. par- ticularly in these clays with gold at a high premium.

It is not from lack of attempts that the loot which Captain Kidd is said to have buried on Oak Island has not been recovered as it is doubtful if am; place has been dug over as often as has the site oi this

The latest is an American syndicate which is ""1108 to rink some 8126.000 to see ii they can find the treasure which legend places at around $10,000,000.

0f gold chain but that is all that has ever been removed so m as is known. .

Mahone Bay is not the only place 110118 the southwestern shore where pirate treasure is supposed to have been buried. This shore. altmg which the line of the Canadian National Railways follows the coast from Yarmouth to Halifax, seems to have been a favourite hide-away with pirates and there are legends of buried loot around Port Mouton, farther south. 'I‘he frame oi one oi these Diratica craft driven ashore ply! pursuers can still be seen at low

e.

At Hall Harbzur, on the opposite shore. is yet mother site oi suppos- ed buried tleasure. Here the leg- end recites a tragedy which hap- pened back around 18l3._ A pirate ship. the “Mary Jane"; commanded by a Captain Hall, from whence the name. sailed up the Bay of Fundy and twice xavaged the little settlement but the third attempt found the settlers ready. The Indian sweetheart of one of the raiders se- cretly warned the raiders that the settlers were waiting for them. Her lover had been left to guard the treasure from the “Mary Jane" which had been brought ashore icr safe-keeping. Upon "N! ilfliailk 0f the settlers the treasure was hast- ily buried in a secluded spot on shore and during the arms one 0f the settlers took aim at the Indian girl's lover, see-Eng which she ran to protect him and received the bul- let herself. The lover was also shot and killed. The survivors cf the raiding party hurriedly made for their vessel, leaving the treasure behind and so far as is known it has never been recovered.

The Bay oi Fundy seems also to have been familiar to Captain Kidd for in the vicinity of St. Martins. in New Brunswick. are legends of the notorious pirate's doubloons buried cn Isle l-Iaute and along the shore. Tneasure seekers have left evidence of their covert search ior pirate gold in the pits which they dug at various places. Much dig- ging during the dark silent hours of t-he night failed up to the pres- ent. from all accounts, to locate any 0r the treasure.

TOR/ONTO, Aug. l6—Bicycle fol- lowers around these parts, always anzdoua to cheer a champion in action, eagerly await the day they will see 16-year-old Doug Peace, all-round Canadian champion, back in harnes after a temporary lay- off. With several Ontario cham. Dlonships yer. to be decided, per- haps later this month, Peace has been idle since late July.

Right now he is No. l man to represent Canada in the bicycle fivelits at the Olympics next year. The"? lust one fly in the oint- meme-Doll! must 8o on winning events with the same regularity of 1935 to remain head man in the critical Eyes oi Olympic officials.

In the same races for the Canadian championships this sea. 5°11 D0115 placed firs‘. in the one. third mile; first m the one-mile captured the 25_-miie grind. He also won the 440-yard Dominion sprint and placed 59c- 0nd in the five-mile Canadian title race. Besides this showing Peace won the Willie Spencer Tm- phy time trials and set a new Can-

In the two Ontario title races held this season Doug flashed past the finisli line first in the five. mile race and wheeled in second in ""3 quarter-mile event.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16-=W.'li Rogers left the wuriii a rich leg- acy of spontaneous humor.

He exprisscd "Jnc licpe a {cu years ago that his graveston: would bear this epitaph: "I joke about eveiy prominent man of my time. but I never met a man I didn't like.‘

Some of his recorded "wise- cracks" follow:

"We landed at Cairo but I didn't go out to see that thing—what do they call it, the sphinx. I figured anyhow I had just seen Cal Cool- ldgc not ions mo!’

"Argentina exports wheat, meat and glgoloe. and the United States puts a tariff on the wrong two." Describing the Iondon Naval Conference of l930.

"We stood through one speech. sat through eight, slept through 12, and in three solid hours of compliments not a rowboat was sunk."

"England. has more money in- vested in dress suits and dinner Jackets than America has in plows and farming utensils"

Senator Pat Harrison of Miss- issippi relates that he warned Rogers on the dangers of flying-

"I-le merely told me." the Sen- ato: said, “that I would be killed sometime trying to hit a golf ball."

To Mrs. Grace Coolidge:

“Well, Grace, you can imitate Cal's voice bettcr'n me. but look what you had to go through to learn it."

Concerning Lady Astor:

"Every time she comes to the show I try to get her to stand up and take a bow, but she won't. And over in the House of Commons they can't get her to sit down."

When he was considered for the nomination in 193i:

“A comedian can only last till he takes himself serious or his audience takes him serious and 1 don't want either one of those to happen to me until Im dead (if then) so let's stop all this fool- lshnesl right now." .

Perhaps the fact Peace comes from En athletic farniiy has some- thing h do with his success. His father, H. W. Peace, was quite a. bicycle rider in his day and copped several medals.
