TREASURES OF TIE SEA.
immense Gums of Money Lost in
Wrecks on the Oc can.
From C1sseHs Magazine.


From CdsseHs Magazine.
The close Of the last century seems to have
been very prolific in wrecks. The British
frigase De Brock, lost in a storm of Lswes,
in the United States, in 1898. is stated to
have had on board no less than s52, coo, 900
worth of specie and jewels, taken from an
intercepted Spanish feet while on her voy-
age to Halifax, and with it were also taken
200 prisoners. The latter were in irons on
the lower decks when the vessel foundered
and all were lost. Many years afterwards
On 1881 search was being actively prose-
cuted by diving company for the purpose
OF recovering this specie, the result of which
has not yet been chronicled. IL would
scarcely be believed that valuables have
been recovered nearly two hundred and
fifty years from the date of the wreck, but
nevertheless it Is recorded that the good
ship harleem, which was driven ashore in
Table Bay, la May, l64S, and became total
wreck, had on board many cases full of
curiosities and antiquities for sale to Eu-
ropean museums. These cases contained
idols, rare china, glass, silver, etc.
As lately as 1893 salving operations were
these articles. The china was not at all in
jured by having been 235 years under the
sea, but the silver articles had suffered con-
siderably. Another very notable case-aud
only for the amount of treasure on board
but also for the big ''windfall'' for the SAL
vors-is that of the Thstis, British frigate
wrecked off the coast Of Brazil in 1880, with
9l62, 900 in bullion on board. The hull
went 10 pieces, leaving the treasure at the
bottom of five or six fathoms of water.
Tho admiral of the Brazil station and the
captains aud crews Of four sloops-of- war
were engaged for eighteen months in recov-
ering the treasure. The service was at
tended with great skill, labor and danger
and four lives were lost. A good deal Of
litigation was the result, as disputes arose
between the parties as TO the amount of re-
ward for the salvors The court of adj
miralty awarded eli, 900; the privy council
929, 900, and co, 900 for expenses.
In the reign Of James IL a very success
full salving expedition took place. A rich
Spanish vessel, which had been lost on the
coast of South America, rewarded her sal
vors with no less that g300, 600, stated to
have been forty-four years at the bottom of
the sea. A medal was struck in honor of
this event in 1857. One of the most recent
cases of successful sllving operations is that
Of the Spanish mail steamer Alphonso XII ,

airy, 1885, and sunk OFF Point Gand ,, Ora I'd
Canary, in twenty-five fa;homs of water
She had on board treasure valued at 9100,-
900. The underwriters who had insured the
vessel organized saving expedition, which
was dispatched to the scene of the wreck in
the following May. 1t is reported that O
few months later most OF the specie was re-
covered

THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of a large increase in Savannah's
business. Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth OF Savannah's
tributary territory, better understanding
Of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement Of her two great rail-
road systems. These things viii continue to
contribute to her growth and prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence,
that will make the business year of 1S90-o1
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING NEWS there have been built three new
and important railroads TO Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland, the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
y.
But the number of buyers and the amount
Of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants.
The advanced condition of the cotton crop
justifies the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking, probably,
Of what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING NEWS TO SEQ who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan-
nah and what they are Offering for sale
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nah, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. II our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade.
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING NEWS proposes to make a
special effort to reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nah's enterprise. The agents Of the MORN
ING NEWS are travelling through the coun-
try, and the people are taking the paper
just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them to-
Il is proposed to send copy Of the trade
review TO each subscriber to the WEEKLY
NEWS, as well as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at a little more than the usual
price Of one

vitation to buyers TO call 1t virtually says,
