Rumors of an Ancient Treasure and Robbery at Bayou La Bat
A scattered bulletin describes rumors of a long-ago wreck near Bayou La Bat and a fresh incident of gold theft. Reportedly five days earlier two men and a dog aboard a schooner anchored off the coast. A shore party ferried a chest of gold from a marked location to a boat, then vanished by morning. The Government and a veteran warrior-patriot figure are noted in distant mentions.
