At the close of a fascinating volume, "The Book.of Buried Treasure: Being a True History of the Gold, Jewels, and Plate of Pirates, Galleons, etc., which are sought for to this Day," Mr. Ralph D. Paine gives a very business like appendix, containing hints for the benefit of those who wish to be treasure-seekers. Here is an extract from his long catalogue 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.
