Most of the maps of the West Indies published during the first half of the present century and anterior to that date mark distinctly the spot where the following story principally takes place. Thirty miles due north of Cape Français, on the north coast of San Domingo, is a reef entitled Bajo de la Plata, or Phips's Plate, while more modern maps simply describe it as Silver Bank. This is, of course, the spot where Sir William Phips - a now forgotten figure in history - obtained the plate mentioned by Defoe; and, so far as I am aware, there is but one detailed account in existence of how he found and secured that plate.
