A forlorn group of men, picked up 'from an uninhabited island off the, 'coast ot Brazil, deelared themselves to be the sole survivorsof the Ver onica, and told a terrible tale of fire at sea and the loss of the ;rest of the � crew: Spared Because. -lie Could Cook.

R.oisnd these bags grew up a legend that the Flowery Land Ives a treasure 'ship, and this legend had a great deal to de with what followed. The crew were a very mixed 'crowd, only five of them 'being English—the captain, 'John Smith,' his brother: ;George, who was a passenger, the first and second mates, and the ship's boy. The others rolht'esenteti nearly a dozen„ different nationalities.
