A long read recounts rumors of a wrecked galleon named Senada off Mustang Island with Lafitte era ties. Tales say Vasquez, a Pied Piper of smuggling, plotted to seize a million in gold while pirates and sea dogs debated the vessel and hidden treasure.
The narrative centers on Tomas Vasquez a Mexican with wealth who vanished years ago and allegedly joined pirates in a wrecked ship tale. He reportedly traded gold for voyages to Mustang Island and helped recount the pursuit by pirates who chased a ship named Senada into Corpus Christi Bay, with eerie mentions of gold, silver, and a rescued Indian girl.
The speaker denounces divination and religious imposture, citing Delphi and other frauds, then argues Christianity empowers great minds and lives despite opposition. He recounts Farragut and other figures, challenging skeptics and urging personal faith before death.
Chicago records show Postmaster Gor den presenting a collection of photographs and biographical sketches of Chicago postmasters. The missing image is of Jonathan Nash Bailey, the first postmaster, while the 13 by 11 inch photos rest in a five and a half by seventeen foot display. The sepia art is mahogany framed from the old post office.
