Panama and the canal in picture and prose .. . r originalstrength in 1751, they never regained importance.Porto Bello disappeared when the Royal Road toPanama lost its traffic, and the Chagres onlyresumed a brief importance in 1844 when the RoyalMail Steampacket Co. made San Lorenzo a portof call. When Colon, however, appeared as a port and the terminus of the Panama railroad, thefate of all other ports on the Atlantic side of theIsthmus was sealed. Left to brood over the daysof their greatness—though indeed they never re-pelled any serious attack—the Iron Fort and SanLorenzo were abandoned by their Colombian gar-risons and given over to the insidious and irresistibleconquest of the jungle. Picturesque and dignified, they well repay the visit of the tourist. Still standeth San Lorenzo there, Aye, faithful at his post.Though scoffing trees in every breeze Their prime and vigor boast;His garrison is but the shades Of soldiers of the past, But it pleaseth him, alone and grim. To watch unto the last. CHAPTER V THE SACK OF OLD PANAMA. HE week after the fall ofSan Lorenzo, Morgan withhis full force appeared atthe mouth of the ChagresRiver. Before leaving St.Catherine he had disman-tled the forts and burned allthe houses for no particu-lar reason except the seem-ingly instinctive desire ofa buccaneer to destroy allthat he could not steal.At once he began his prep-arations for the ascent of the Chagres to its head ofnavigation, where, disembarking, he would take thetrail for Old Panama. Cruces, which was the pointof debarkation, had grown to a considerable town atthis time, being the point of transshipment of goodsdestined for Nombre de Dios, or Porto Bello, fromthe mules that had brought them thus far, to theboats that would float them down to tide water.The town, an inconsiderable hamlet of thatched huts, remained in 1913, butthe rise of Gatun Lakewas expected to prac-tically blot it out ofexistence. Old Panama, forwhich Morgan waspreparing the grimexperience of a battle
