SEARCH FOR BRITISH GOLD
That u Supposed 10 Lie NJ the liOtton
Of Long Island Sound.


OS Long Island Sound.
Another attempt will shortly be
made by a wealthy syndicate to raise
British man.oi.war Hussar, when she
foundered of Port Morris, In Long
Island Sound, In 1850, and carried to
the bottom seventy prisoners who were
manacled on her gun deck, and British
guinea, to the amount OF $4,000, 900.
The story OF the sinking Of this ship
will be OF interest ut this time.
Tho Hussar was 32.gun ship about
200 feet long. She arrived In New
YO k In November, 1850, in company
with tho man.oI-war Mercury. To-
gether they carried $500, 0G0, which
was intended to pay OIL the British
troops In America. The Mercury re.
NAMED In New York, and tho Huss ~,
taking on board the treasure of her
sister snip, st sail for New London,
Conn. Although the pilot was not
worry fa niliar with Long Island sound,
the captain decided to save some time
by taking u short cut In passing He'll
Gate. Tho Hussar struck q sunken
reef, and, rs she was badly damaged,
her commander decided to run her
ashore.
She had taken on board seventy pris.
oners OF wa from the prison ship be.
I re leaving New York, and. as her
hold was filed with stores, they had
been CHI ined on the gun decX. AZ
their fate was OF little consequence.
the captain did not release them, but
kept his crew ut work In an attempt to
get the Hus,ar to the beach before
she lOundered. Hawsers were carried
ashore and fastened to trees, and an
attempt Was made to warp the vessel
In, but before much progress had been
made she filed, heeled over, tore up
the trees by the roots, and sank In
eighty feet of water. drowning her
manacled prisoners. Some of the crew
escaped.
IRON that time on stories OF the
Hussars sunken guineas led to a.
sorts OF attempts to acquire sudder
wealth by their recovery. A British
company sent two briggs to the spot IN

'California Is the biggest world In
the country" wrote a small boy, pass.
ing the winter at Coronado. to his
nurse in New York. All Californians
echo the sentiment, for they as some
one says, "irrigate, cultivate and
exaggeratc." But then they have
stupendous facts upon which to build
stories that seem almost too big for
belief. Miss Sanborn, In her book,
IA Truthful Woman in Southern
California" tells OF man who got
lost in a mustard field, though he
was on horseback.
At San Diego she saw tomato.
