When I asked him his name he replied: James Sexton, Anglo-Saxon surname. I live in Oakville, on Lake Ontario, near Toronto. I told him where I was from, remarking that his town was close to the famous Niagara Falls.

Tall, with a nice looking face and piercing green eyes — though maybe too thin for his height — he demanded that we go find Piet Heyn, wherever he was. Nothing could be any easier, I said, all we would have to do is go to the city of Matanzas; he’d be standing exactly in front of the bay where in 1628 he captured his greatest treasure, taking it from the Spanish for pirates and corsairs in the Americas.
