Time of Reading 3:55 to 4:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. (There is a myth or legend of Capt. Calico Jack Rackham, notorious pirateer and pirate, having buried booty on an island in the Everglades, Florida, supposedly north of Oyster Bay. Can or will you locate this, and tell us what you can about how it might be recovered?)
1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find from those contacts here, this has been given through these channels as respecting same, that Rackham's booty, on the island in Lostman's River, above the tide and at the juncture of a tributary some nine and seven-tenths miles from what would be then the coast, or coastal area. [See 1279-1 through 1279-4.]
3. This when put there was in what was a portion of an old tree, inside. This as we find, owing to settlements or activities that have gone on, is covered with debris; but may be located best with the measurements and then with the mercury and the electropoid that is sensitive to gold - though this treasure is not all gold but other booty also.
4. We are through.
