[Applause]

Australia h* Hey speaking of farway

places we were going to check out that

ship the pay King remember see right

yeah what are we waiting for let's get

going

yeah wow look at that one wonder which

one it

is that's it Ry King wow I can't believe

it we actually found it yeah hey there's

the g*ng plank let's

[Music]

go hold on there what your

hurry she's been here all these years is

for certain she's not going anywhere now

yes sir we know sir can we come on a

board stop sring me name's hatch Julian

hatch only name I got and I like it just

fine what's yours uh Edgar my name is

Edgar and mine is Cynthia and this is

Eleanor and can we please go aboard the

P King you don't see why not that's why

she's here come aboard oh really oh

great let's go how we know what to look

for maybe we could ask him yeah but then

we'd have to tell him about The

Medallion that's true oh I wish I knew

what to

do look at her

mates she was marvelously strong in

every respect off Cape Horn she did 11

knots with her in a full Gale carrying

all three courses and low top maybe we

could just ask to see the log we'd

probably be better off trusting him I

don't know he seems okay but

hey you kids look like a g*ng of

mutineers Follow Me below

decks you are now in the sail

locker and sail maker is one of the most

important men on the ship well if we

trusted him at least he could do a lot

more for us he'd know the kind of things

we should be looking for and probably

just where to look okay okay let's have

it what are you kids up to oh we're

sorry sir it's just that well um we

really came here to look for something

and we just don't know how to go about

it just what might you be looking for

maybe I can help you find it our

friend's great great grandfather sailor

Bill once sailed on the P King and was

lost at

sea

well here's the cruise quarters you know

uh you might have bunked right here but

uh you're not looking to find him aboard

her now are you oh no but he had an old

gold medallion and chain and we wondered

if anything might have been recorded

about that after he was lost at sea a I

see it's an old treasure you're looking

for

well let's go up to the folks of De and

check the ship's log and see what we can

find huh

now uh just about when did all of this

take place well let's see what was it Mr

cuffy said well he said it was a new

ship I think that's right the ship went

to China and then there was a big flood

good fix mate good fix that'll help us a

lot let's see that should put us

somewhere right about in

[Music]

here yes here's the flood June 8th

1889 Hong Kong Harbor it was one week

since the flood and the seas are calm

enough to Embark oh that must be the

same

Voyage let me see June 10th 1889 to two

days out of Hong Kong two crewman Bill

topper and Jim Duncan lost its sea last

night very odd the Chinese salemaker

chal Le says he alerted Giles to

possible trouble just a day before what

could it all mean I will probably never

know that's it kids is that all you sure

that's it there must be more I just know

there

is I guess that's it there isn't any

more boy I was sure we'd find out

something here about sailor Bill well it

doesn't look that way aha that's it what

there is another entry but not in this

log I remember now it was made years

later when the ship was in Port right

here in New York where where now hold

your horses let's

see ah should be somewhere along in this

one

here it is first mates entry one

incident of note during my watch this

night a seaman came aboard looking for

the Chinese sail maker Chun

Lee said he sailed with him aboard this

ship some years before and left

something of value with him he seemed

rather agitated on learning Chun Lee was

no longer crewing aboard our vessel he

did calm down somewhat on learning that

Lee had opened a sailmaking shop nearby

in Chinatown and could be reached there

unfortunately I could not give him the

address not knowing it myself he thanked

me nonetheless and asked that if I saw

Lee before he did to please tell him

saor bill was looking for him he I'm so

glad I just knew he hadn't Taylor bill I

take it as one of the two men who went

overboard that's right Julian it's his

medal we're looking for and there

something of value that he left with

Chun Lee the salemaker was naturally The

Medallion of course but how will we find

this man Chun Lee he probably died long

ago well maybe so but sail making is a

fine craft passed on from father to

child it just still might be a chenita

salemaker in Chinatown looks like that's

our next move Julian looks like it

Cynthia Chinatown here we come

boy are we in trouble talk about a

needle in a Hast stack now

what uh uh excuse me we're looking for

the family of a salemaker named Chun Lee

who lived here 65 years ago stale maker

65 years ago uh-huh good luck

Jack next time at the circus

[Music]

what do you want to know about

yourself what do you want to know about

yourself

[Music]

you're hearing a combination of

instruments and sounds that come from

Puerto Rico and yet there are parts of

this music that come from many places

the bongo drums come from

[Music]

Africa the guitar is from

[Music]

Spain and the maracas are part of the

the culture of the tyo Indians early

settlers of the island now called Puerto

Rico all of these instruments have come

together to make the sounds of Puerto

Rican music and all of these musicians

are Puerto

Ricans where is Puerto Rico it's an

island a th000 miles from Miami Florida

and nearly 2,000 miles from New York

City who are the Puerto Ricans

as far as we know the araks and later

the tyos were among the first

inhabitants of Puerto

Rico the tyos were the first to plant

crops on the island they grew and used

sugar cane tobacco corn and rubber trees

the tyos had a relaxed productive life

on their Green Island which they called

Boren the peaceful life of the tyos is

still celebrated in the national anthem

of Puerto Rico

[Music]

while looking for India Columbus landed

on the island of bod Ken without asking

the tyos Columbus claimed the island for

Spain the Spanish looked upon Puerto

Rico as a source of riches mainly gold

to take back to

Spain they even changed the name of the

island they called it Puerto Rico which

in Spanish means Rich

Port the Spanish turned the tyos tobacco

and sugar cane Farms into large food

factories called plantations

and they brought Africans as sl*ves to

help uncover the gold but there was very

little gold to be found in Puerto Rico

so Africans also worked on the

plantation as time went by other people

came to Puerto Rico from all parts of

the

world they married and blended with the

tyos the Spanish and the Africans to

form the many different cultures and

shades of skin and hair color that we

see in in Puerto Rico

today after a treaty between Spain and

the United States Puerto Rico became a

possession of the United States as a

result all Puerto Ricans became US

citizens many people were attracted to

the warm and green island of Puerto

Rico however industry slowed down and

work became hard to

find many Puerto Ricans decided to leave

the island

they came mostly to New York and Chicago

looking for

jobs these newcomers flew by plane in a

few hours unlike the European immigrants

who traveled several weeks by

steamship Puerto Ricans have strong ties

to their culture and speak Spanish as

well as

English Puerto Ricans have much to teach

us besides their language and ways of

life they have lived for many centuries

in harmony with all their physical and

cultural

[Music]

variety

long

ago and

once

upon a

time let's go go back where we came
