The Cocos Islands, not far from Panama, for which yet another treasurehunting expedition has sailed, are not dependent solely upon stories of pirates’ hoards for their romance. When Darwin visited the islands in 1837 he found them under the rule of John Chenies Ross, who, after deserting from the British Navy and cruising around for some years as a privateer, had established himself as king of the Cocos Archipelago. Darwin formed a good impression of the ex-sea-raan, who had developed into a benevolent autocrat, ruling justly and well. Be fore his death in 1851 Ross, fearing interference from British naval authorities, had himself naturalised as a Dutch subject, but hie son renewed allegiance with England, and at his request Captain Fremantle, of H.M.S. Juno, hoisted the British flag over the islands in 1857.
