The
writer
had
been
one
of
the
crew
,
and
the
letter
was
to
his
son
,
who
was
,
at
the
very
time
the
letter
was
written
,
master
of
a
Spanish
merchantman
.
Many
years
had
elapsed
since
the
events
the
letter
narrated
had
transpired
,
and
the
old
man
had
become
a
respected
citizen
of
an
obscure
Spanish
town
,
but
the
love
of
gold
was
still
so
strong
upon
him
that
he
risked
all
to
acquaint
his
son
with
the
means
of
attaining
fabulous
wealth
for
them
both
.
The
writer
told
how
when
but
a
week
out
from
Spain
the
crew
had
mutinied
and
murdered
every
officer
and
man
who
opposed
them
;
but
they
defeated
their
own
ends
by
this
very
act
,
for
there
was
none
left
competent
to
navigate
a
ship
at
sea
.

They
were
blown
hither
and
thither
for
two
months
,
until
sick
and
dying
of
scurvy
,
starvation
,
and
thirst
,
they
had
been
wrecked
on
a
small
islet
.
The
galleon
was
washed
high
upon
the
beach
where
she
went
to
pieces
;
but
not
before
the
survivors
,
who
numbered
but
ten
souls
,
had
rescued
one
of
the
great
chests
of
treasure
.
This
they
buried
well
up
on
the
island
,
and
for
three
years
they
lived
there
in
constant
hope
of
being
rescued
.
One
by
one
they
sickened
and
died
,
until
only
one
man
was
left
,
the
writer
of
the
letter
.

The
men
had
built
a
boat
from
the
wreckage
of
the
galleon
,
but
having
no
idea
where
the
island
was
located
they
had
not
dared
to
put
to
sea
.
When
all
were
dead
except
himself
,
however
,
the
awful
loneliness
so
weighed
upon
the
mind
of
the
sole
survivor
that
he
could
endure
it
no
longer
,
and
choosing
to
risk
death
upon
the
open
sea
rather
than
madness
on
the
lonely
isle
,
he
set
sail
in
his
little
boat
after
nearly
a
year
of
solitude
.
Fortunately
he
sailed
due
north
,
and
within
a
week
was
in
the
track
of
the
Spanish
merchantmen
plying
between
the
West
Indies
and
Spain
,
and
was
picked
up
by
one
of
these
vessels
homeward
bound
.
