cedar and all. . . . . timber having marks of. . . . which combined with dates and circumstances makes it certain this was once part of King Philip's property. The wood appears to be chestnut. .. Lent by H. S. GUNN, Esq.

980. SILVER SPOON FROM THE SPANISH ARMADA.

When the ships of the Spanish Armada were scattered, several of them passed along the north-east coast of Ireland, and one of them, when off the Giant's Causeway, mistook the rocks known as the Chimney-tops for the chimneys of Dunluce Castle and fired at them, but in doing so, stood in too close and was wrecked, in what is now known

as Port na Spania Bay. There is a legend that casks of gold were afterwards washed ashore; and quantities of Spanish dollars have indeed been found on the beach, and about eighty years ago this spoon was picked up in that place with several arms. It may therefore be inferred that the spoon, which is old and bears a foreign mark, came out of the wrecked vessel.
