"RICH AS THE GOLDEN ARGOSYS OF THE SPANISH MAIN.” Perhaps there is something of a parabite in the advertisement which appears on another page of this issue and to which this caption belongs. The pageant of great lumbering ships which sailed the Carribean 400 years ago, glittering with extravagant device and decoration, laden with gold and silver and jewels, manned with half a dozen seamen and hundreds of soldiers, fell an easy prey to the swift sailing rugged privateers. Privateering was a business in those days—a business demanding courage and hardihood; a.rl the prize the treasure ship.
