The Dew of Heaven (The Argosy Library)

Panama—the fairest sight ever to greet the eyes of plundering pirate—lay waiting for Captain Morgan and his men. Louis d’Or, famous pirate of the Spanish Main, encounters in sea battle a small craft commanded by Ivor Kildare, a young daring pirate who is also known as Tranquillo II. Captured by d’Or, in order to barter for his life, Kildare translates for d’Or a cipher cut in wood which tells of hidden treasure at in Panama. But the quest for the treasure will soon put them in the crosshairs of the notorious buccaneer, Captain Henry Morgan. Never before reprinted, The Dew of Heaven is a fantastic historical adventure by the king of the Western pulps, Max Brand.
