The next day he was reported much worse by the solicitous governor. The ship must sail, it was delayed as it was, but Don Fernando ' s report was sent to his sover- eign. It was read to the assembled settlers and contained high praise of the efficient governor of St. Augustine and a glowing account of the prosperous condition of the province. The people dared not protest openly : and the ship sailed, leaving Don Fernando Menendez to the care of the 1 ' efficient ' ' governor. Two days later a coffin was hastily buried, deep under the moat of Fort San Marco — Don Fernando was dead. The governor regretted that a public funeral was impossible, but the danger from contagion was too great ; no one could see him. The settlers mourned for him sincerely — they had loved him and had hoped that his com- ing meant a happier life for them. The}- could not even show their respect and affection by flowers nor monument — the water in the moat hid his grave, and nothing remained of gallant Don Fernando Menendez but the loving memories in the hearts of all the settlers. About thirty years ago St. Augustine, still Spanish in appearance, but thronged with visitors from all parts of the United States, was horrified by a discovery acciden- tally made by workmen digging in old Fort San Marco, now called Fort Marion. A narrow cell was found, below the deepest dungeon known in the fort. In it was an iron cage containing a yellow skeleton. Nothing to indicate identity was found but a golden ring, graven with the Menendez coat of arms, a family well known in centuries past for their distinguished bravery and loyalty to the Spanish crown. The governor ' s treason will never be discovered — the secret was immured in the dun- geon with Don Fernando Menendez. h. h. J., ' 00. 14
