l Albove-Strange tales abound concerning the Churclz of the Golden flltar. It was supposed to have been covered originally with priceless gold leaf. The coni- ing of the Buccaneers caused the attending Padres to cover it with a while substance to keep the pirates from carrying it off. Later the white covering was removed and the altar restored to its former beauty. The present covering is supposed to be a fine but not very expensive gold leaf. It is beautiful. A visit will cause you to stand by in reverence and awe. Below-Here stands the remains of the tower of a church in old Panama. The visit of Morgazz and his men was disastrous to the city. They burned, pil- laged and destroyed. Some say that in this vicinity priceless treasures have been buried. There's your chance. How about organizing a Sailors' Treasure Hunting Expedition? Tucla tlzat idea back in your mind for future action on the next visit to the Canal Zone. m 'amMw,,W,W...N,. Q L, ,uw icax as s . s c QA 4 ,., . Q - . it i - '- , , .
