The Debraak was n Dutch vessel rap
tured by the French. Her maiden
name was Hraak , the French lidding the
prolix "Do. " When the war broke out
between F.nglaud and franco bhe was
Ijingin Falmoiitli harbor , and was de-
t'ained by the Knglibh Government. She
w.is subsequently condemned , and on
.lime I ! , 1707 , commissioned and ordered
to the Western Islands. When com
missioned the "Do" was dropped and
her maiden name retained. She was
eoinmadded by Capt. , las. Drew , with a
complement of eighty-six men , and car
ried sixteen gun.s.
The Porcupine Ga/etto of May 12S.
17 ! > S , published in this city , stated that ,
"Mr. Low , a courier , arrived hero this
evening from Capo llenlopon , bringing
the had news of the loss of II. H. M.
bleep of war Hraak , Capt. James Drew ,
commander. She was overset in Old
Kiln Ho.ids , about I o'clock last Friday
afternoon the IWth. She was at the
time under mainsail and reefed top-ail ,
iiist about to cast anchor a mile from the
light house , her ho.itsalongsido waiting
for the captain , who intended to go
ashore at Lcuistown. A sudden squall
of wind laid her on her beam endbwhen
bin ! immediately tilled and went down
with the captain and his lieutenant and
tbirti-eigbt oIlicet'M , seamen and ma
rines. The rot of the ship's company ,
including the bo.ilbwain , e.-iapcd in
the ship's boat and a pilot's boat , which
was waiting to take tlio pilot ashore. Tlio
Hraak parted with his Majesty's licet
oil tlio Western Isles in el.aso of a
htrango sail. About t\venty-l.\o days
ago she fell in with and captured a
Spanish ship from La Plata , bound for
Spain with aery valuable cargo. "
Capt. Charles Sanborn , a noted sub
marine diver , who in 1MS7 contemplated
securing a concession from tlio Govern
ment for raising this -vessel , visited
Halifax for the purpose of getting in
formation , lie becured u newspaper
published in 17iS ) , giving the following
account of the loss of the vessel :
"II. H. M. sloop-pf-war Hraak , wo arc
informed , was capsi/ed of the capes of
Delaware , returning from a successful
online on the Spanish main. She had
on board seventy tons of copper and an
immense amount of treasures , consist
ing of gold and silver bars and precious
stones. "
C'apt Sanborn afterward went Soutli
with the intention of returning the fol
lowing spring nnd commencing opera
tions. While there ho was taken sicli
and died. It was his belief that tilt
treasure waalucd at$20,000,000. Capt
Gilbert McCracken and a Capt. Allen
wore pilot partners a hundred years age
at Lewis , and Capt. Samuel McCiacken
a grandson of Capt. Gilbert McCrackei
bays that his grandfather put Capt.
Allen on board the Hraak , and ther
came into tlio harbor and remained in
his boat in Old Kiln ro.ids for the pur
pose of taking him oil after piloting the.
vessel in. After the pilot was rcceivei
on hoard ho passed into the cabin to set :
the captain , who thru invited him t (
partake of refreshments , after which hi
was shown the contents of the locker
Capt. Drew remarking. "Tins is m ;
last voyage to sea ; it has been a re
markably successful ono and when I re
turn home I am going to buy a title am
live like a lord. "
Alter going ashore Capt. Allen , in re
ferring to what he saw in the locker
b.nd there was an immense amount o
gold and silver in bars , a largo numboi
of doubloons , and iron chcslscontainin )
precious stones , , which was privati
pioperty. The crew and Spaniards win
were saved confirmed what Capt. Allei
had stated.
Last summer Dr. Pancoast visited i
numberof the oldest inhabitantsof Lea ;
and they were all of the opinion tlmt i
largo amount of treasure went down ii
the Drank. Dr. Pancoast , in spcakiiij
of the search , said :
"In commencing operations in thofal
of Ibbdve laid out a half-imlo square
which we huo\cd , , We worked from th
northeast portion of the square to th
southwest. Near tlio center of th
square the grapple which we used cam
in lontact with something. The wate
was bo rough the divers could not g
down. The grapple was binned , an
through neglect tlio boiulngi were nc
taken. After the vve-athor hud model
atod and \vatercalmcd , we fonn
that the grappling irons had become di
tachtd and the buoy had carried thoi
some distance away. If the land beai
ings had l-eon taken at the tune the h
cation would not have been lost. Aftc
the grappling irons were raised tin ;
were found to bo covered with verdigri
suppo'-dd to have como from the eoppt
or brass cannons of the Hraak. This
no m > th. Wo know the vessel is theri
and wo also know that she had iinment
troiiMires aboard. The searching f (
this ve-stel must not bo compared to tl
visionary schemes wo frequently hoar- -
in trying to Iml ) Capt. Kidu s burii
treasures. It is a legitimate hnsine
operation. "
The delicious fragrance , refrcshin
coolness , and soft beauty imparted I
