SEVEN MILLIONS IN GOLD.
Greatest Amount of Bullion Ever Car

recently spoken Of the carrying of ST.,

said a man who has been with the
navy for years to a reporter 1T is
entirely wrong. In 1885 there was
brought from the mint in New Orleans
to the treasury in Washington SILL
100000. and let was brought in a
steamer.
The government decided to trans
port l5.000,000 from New Orleans. 1t
was first thought best to bring it by
rail, but this was assuming a great
risk. The cabinet discussed the mat
ter carefully and 1t was finally decided
that the safest way would be by water
The members of the cabinet saw that
there was chance for hold-up if the
money was brought by train.
THE United States ship Swatara
was first designated to carry the
money, but 1T was found that she
would be inadequate to transport the
whole amount, so the wooden sailing
steamer Yantic was pressed into SER
vice to help out. We removed from
the Swatara her magazines. The shells
from the shellroom were removed, as
were also the sails from the sailroom,
so that all available space was utilized
for packing the coin. The only weap-
on OF defense was a Calling gun.
THE money was conveyed from the
mint to the vessels in wagons. A
squad of secret service officers watch
in tow and the trip from New Orleans
to the Washington hayward occupied
a little more than four days. Consid-
cradle wind was encountered off Hat
teras. but otherwise the trip was
incident. The money was car
ried from the navy yard to the treas
lry by an express company.
THE money was in boxes of $1,000
each and in bags. My recollection is
hat the money was in silver dollars.
