IN his vivid story " The Treasure Ship" Mr. Butterworth pictures the dramatic events in the 

 career of the poor boy who recovered the treasure from the Spanish ship sunk in the Baha- 

 mas and was knighted by the king. The author sketches striking incidents of his subsequent 

 career as a soldier, as a firm opponent of the witchcraft delusion, and as Governor of Massa- 

 chusetts. Together with the tale of Phipps and the vivid sketches of seventeenth-century life 

 in Boston, the author has interwoven strange incidents of the hidden existence of the regicides 

 Goffe and Whalley in Massachusetts, and also episodes of Andros's dominion and the inter- 

 charter period. The story of Phipps and the seventeenth-century movement for justice and 

 freedom in Massachusetts and Connecticut are among the most thrilling pages of our colonial 

 history, and they teach lessons which every American youth should learn.
