Performed on September 23, 1867, by the Port Elizabeth [[Dramatic Club]]. The storyline behind ''[[The Treasure at the Woody Cape]]'' or ''[[The Days of Ryk van Tulbach]]'' dates back to 1760 when a Governor’s authority was almost absolute. The first scene opened with the promulgation of the “Pracht and Praal” regulations which declared that “whoever of the female sex, beneath the rank of junior merchant’s wives, shall wear silk dresses and embroidery,” would be liable to a fine of 25 rixdollars. As can be imagined, this declaration did not make Ryk van Tulbach very popular among the ladies. The pirate, Van der Decken, (captain of the legendary Flying Dutchman) also known as Sluyskens, captured the ship, Nederland, which was carrying the wealth belonging to the Governor’s niece, Aletta van Breda, to Cape Town. In a plot of deception and kidnapping, the pirate tricks the Governor into breaking up Aletta’s engagement. A bit of dancing and singing on the pirate’s ship livens up the presentation. A bit more drama and escapes see the kidnapped victim escape and after some more action, the boat tips the occupants into the sea. Luckily they survive and end up in a cave at Woody Cape. Some dreams and water sprite scenes follow and the long-lost treasure was found. Van der Decken stabs himself and dies at the feet of those he betrayed. The band of the 86th, kindly lent by Col Lowe, CB, and officers, “played some capital selections during the intervals”.
