value of 81, 2,250000. The fact that this treasure
has already baffed twenty-five expeditions which
have set out to it is sufficient explanation
why it is still there. The story of this buried
wealth is well known to the British government,
and details of how it in its present condition
are duly recorded in the national archives, The
treasure, which is officially known as "Kruger's
Millions" although worth no more than the sum
stated, is the proceeds of illicit gold buying from
the Rand.
Secret agents of the old Transyaal government,
IT is said, bribsd mine employees to cheat their
employers and sell the gold thus stolen at cheap
rate 1t was intended to dispose of the gold in
South America. Meanwhile it was stored in a
spot not far from Dslagoa Bay. An old Swedish

gold was taken on board and covered with LAYERS

she went ashore on Dungeness in a storm, but
was towed off unhurt. German bark ran
into her and sank itself the year following, with
out doing much damage to the Hardacre, which
became known the "Hard-to-Kill."
After driving ashore near Yarmouth in fog,
and sinking vessel fishing on the Newfound-
land Banks not long afterwards, she broke down
in the Channel, and was driven on to the French
coast in gale, her crew being taken off by the
rocket apparatus. Though posted at first as
| total wreck she was towedN off, patched up and
sent on a voyage to the Argentine, where her
pilot piled her up" on a dangerous reef in ba6
weather. Still she refused to die, for she was
refoated and docked, sent to sea once more, and
was run into by cattleboat on the way home
but, by amazing good luck, not sunk. Her
repairs, from beginning to end cost sos, ,000-or
rather more than twice her value. She continued
unkiable until she wore out with old age, and
was condemned by the Board of Trade.
SUNK AND REFLoATED SIX TIMES.
One of the most astonishing records held by
any ship was that of the British bark Emer-
aid, which, becoming unmanageable off Cape
Horn, was driven by wind and tide through the
terrible Magellan Straits and came out un-
scathed at the other end, though she had made
a good part of the voyage sideways, or stern
first, between the terrible walls of rock and
tide-races, which only the finest full-powered
steamers under thorough control attempt TO face
Her performance is unique, and not likely ever
to be beaten for the odds against her were about
the same as one would give a runaway four-in
hand coach galloping from end to end of Broad
way without coming to grief
Her rival in that performance, strangely
enough, was ship that had record of escapes
hardly short of the miraculous. This was the
Diomede, a small cargo steamer, that sunk
no less than six times in twelve years, and raised
each time, which constitutes a record among all
the ships in the world. She was sunk first in
the year she was built by striking some floating
wreckage in the Downs, and "total loss" was
paid over her. A salvage company bought the
wreck cheap from the underwriters and raised
her. at no great cost. In her third year she was
sunk again, in the Hudson River, and raised,
and it was on the voyage following this that she
was wrecked on Sable Island, but saved from
total loss. She finally enjoyed the distinction of
having been sunk in every of the five oceans
of the world except the Antarctic but always
in water lust shallow enough to allow her to be
raised At last she was condemned as too old
and unfit for sea, and is now quarantine hulk
in the West Indies,
It would hardly seem worth even "wrecker's"
while to have tried to sink the tramp-steamer
Vandal, which till lately held worlds record
for having been in ten collisions at sea in seven
years. Unlike the aforementioned vessel she has
never been sunk at all, though she sank six out
of the ten ships she collided with.

On the Trail OF Treasure

about the year 1905 This treasure is said TO
consist of gold and jewels to the value of S6,OOo,
600. w. II. Small. of Liverpool, has fitted ont
a ketch and is shortly to make an attempt 70
recover the pirates booty Captain Small, who
has been sailor all his life heard of this treasure
island in the course of his wanderings.
AN OLD SAILORS SECRET
The secret was revealed by an old sailor on his
death-bed nearly thirty years ago to ship 8
doctor This sailor, it appears was captured by
the redoubtable Latrobe, and in order to escape
death joined the pirate crew and assisted in
burying the treasure, in boxes, on the island.
The ships doctor, believing the story to be true,
made the first attempt to secure the treasure lie
chartered yacht, located the island, and began
digging; but on encountering a quieksand, the
search was abandoned. Eight years later second
attempt was made by Cornelius Healy, but was
also abandoned owing TO want OF funds.
The sailing Of the Nema for the diamond mine
at once recalls the mysterious voyage made by
Earl Htzwiham and distinguished party in this
very ship only two years ago. The ostensible
object Of the voyage was to inspect some coal
mines, but it subsequently transpred that Lord

Alerte" The fact that both expeditions were IN
successful does not detract from the interest of
the adventurer's narrative Briefly, the story of
the treasure is as follows:
trading vessel, manned by motley crew,
left Southampton in the year 1920. When out at
sea part of the crew mutinied, murdered the rest
of their shipmates, and sailed the sea as pirates
The treasure they accumulated in the course
of their nefarious calling they buried ON an
island off Trinidad. Their romantic career finally
terminated in capture. Nineteen out of twenty
pirates ingoriously hanged, while the odd
man escaped, and returned to England with the
secret OF the treasures hidngplace. This he
con6ded to a Newcastle captain, who fitted out
barque at Sunderland and set sail, with the
object of retrieving it, His crew mutmied ON
landing and, other difficulties presenting them
selves he was forced to return home empty-hand-
ed Before dying this gentleman presented the
treasure-chart TO Mr.. Runciman, who in turn
gave it to Mr.. knight when he made the two
attempts in 1880 and 1889 alluded to.

The most elaborately organized hunt for buried
treasure was the attempt made two years ago
to recover the $140,0O0,OO0 worth of gold and
jewels sunk in Vigo Bay in 1902. For this
comprised the contents of twenty Spanish gal
Icons, which were scuttled to avoid capture by
the British and Dutch ships. Hopes were fondly
entertained of recovering the bulk of this wealth
by means of Cavaere Pino's new invention, the
hydroscope, species of water telescope, and
special apparatus he had perfected for salving
ships. The enterprise emanated from ap. Italian
conoessonaire, and Spain sent a warship, % the
spot to collect the 20 per cent of all treasure
recovered. But it is believed the expedition was
not attended with the looked-for success
Previously to this the Aboukir Bay Treasure
Recovery Company was formed for the purpose
of recovering treasure from the ship EOrient and
other warships sunk by Nelson at the battle Of
the Nile. Property is said TO have been recovered
TO the value Of 100000, but no gold. AS soon as
the eompany's efforts showed signs of being
crowned with success, claims arrived FROM the

Once a vessel has achieved such rep
utation, blight seems to descend
upon all the persons connected with the owner
ship or management. It is almost impossible to
get cargo and when cargo has been secured
it is almost impossible to get crew. The fame
OF the vessel has gone to the farthest corners
Of the earth and sailors decline all offers to sail
ON her.
The H. A. Berwind was as fair a craft as ever
sailed, She was launched only twelve years ago
and under ordinary circumstances should have
been good for many years of usefulness, but after
most remarkable career she recently went to
pieces on the Isle of Pines. Almost with her
launching she bounded in on career OF crime
and bloodshed. Upon the occasion of her first
trip, which was to Philadelphia she collided with
another craft and was seriously damaged. Sail
ing from Philadelphia she had fighting crew,
which made endless trouble Two months after
her christening there was tragedy which re-
suited in the hanging of one man, and always
after this there some dissension Of q more
or less serious character on hand with the mem
bers of the crew, Incidentally to this, the Ber-
wind was always having more trouble in the line
OF collisions and accidents on the high seas than
any boat ever known Only on October 12 of
last year distress signals displayed from
her off Southport, N. c., and she was boarded by
from the schooner Blanche 7. King and
three colored sailors battered and bruised were
found on board. The remainder of the crew had
been killed in fight. The Berwind has now
found her grave the beach of the Isle of Pines,
total wreck and possibly no tears will be shed
over her untimely demise
SAILED INTO A FLEET
Last year there was sold on the Clyde for
breaking up purposes, the iron steamer Hardacre,
which had maintained a record for death and
destruction for thirty years. The boat was in
collision twice, had the lifeboat put out to her
four years running remained the perpetual joy
of insurance companies and yet nothing could
kill her In all these disasters she scarcely did
herself any damage, and she is known far and
wide as ship with hoodoo record,

done $125,000 worth of damage, but having suf-

Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-04

The still more curious fact is that in only one
of those ten collisions was she in the wrong, and
In the other nine cases the owners of the vessels
that collided with her had to pay for her dam
ages well as their own-the former amounting
in all to over $50, 100. 1t was often marvellous
how she escaped sinking, as all the collisions but
one took place on the high seas, and she had the
luck never to be struck in vital spot. Apart
from her own little bill for repairs, she did
$215O00 worth of damage by her little affairs"
and yet she never came to grief by any hazard
OF the seas, being at present storeship of the
Spanish Navy.
The magnificent liner Paris, we'll known by all
who cross to the United States, holds one rec
ord which, if she had no other, would prove her
to bear charmed life up to date. She is the

Cornish coast. 1t is several years ago now since
she struck upon that dreaded reef but many
people may remember the stir it caused and the
agitation for a lighthouse on the Manaces that
followed.

aboard, besides her crew, but did not lose one
of them, all being landed safely A large part

In spite of that, she was eventually rescued from
the rocks by clever engineering, and towed into
Falmouth, The weather luckily held fine dur

The strange part of it is that such compara-

her time half million tons of merchandise
about the English coasts, weathered some of the
worst storms that blew, and her hull remains so
sound that she fulflls the role of store-hulk
to a floating smallpox hospital.

which two similar vessels may have, pair of
-ships-the Cambria and the Celt-both

was run down in the Channel and badly dam
aged on her maiden voyage, causing the loss of
three lives; she has since been three times on
fire, once sunk and raised again, once in col
lison, twice ashore, and finally sailed from Rio
two years ago, and has never been heard ot
since. The other has never had the smallest mis-
hap. An odd fact is that the former unlucky ves-
sci was launched on Friday, deed which
many sailors still regard as deliberately flying in
the face of Providence.

that the majority of the workmen engaged were

1~7HERE are at the present moment no less
than five treasure hunting expeditions
at work in different parts of the world.
QESGE Only few weeks ago Lord Fitzwil-
- liam. a welknown Englishman, was rc-
ported to have furnished boat the
Aema, to company, known as the Coils Dia-
mond Syndicate, which has been formed to ac--
quire "the plans and charts of a most valuable
liamond mine reported to exist off the coast of
africa, with the object of locating and securing
he property and all rights connected Herewith" "
This treasure hunt differs from the majority OF
such expeditions in that the treasure has not
been buried by pirates, or sole survivors, but is
natural diamond mine. which was accidentally
discovered by sailor, now dead, who brought
away handful worth $4,000, merely as a
sample
At Tobermory the West of Scotland Syndicate
are searching for the treasure in a Spanish Ar
mada hulk which went down in l6SS while in
Italy Lake Nemi and the River Tiber are being
ndustriously searched for treasure which il Is
said has lain concealed in their depths since
the days Of the Roman Empire The fifth expe-
dtion in course Of organization is to proceed to
the Caribbean Sea in search of a concealed hoard
buried by one Latrobe. notorious French pirate.

THE HORSE,

Those who bet on horses will feel sure that MT. F. M. Ware knows horses when he says in Outing that "the horse does not love man, nor does he delight to labor in his interest" Mir Ware further says about the horse: True, you may train him by the use of certain appliances to follow you through field, flood and fire, but he will do this not because he adores you, but because you have successfully deceived him into thinking that he cannot help himself, and that one idea dominates him. Do you imagine that it is personal regard for Cinders & Co. which impels those splendid draught horses to toll and strain at that f1ve-ton load? Or that it lis adoration which lands MT, Spenders' roadster in front in a brush on the Speedway? Not in the least. They be- lieve they cannot do otherwise, and at- tempts at rebellion have always proven fruitless. As we'll expect old Madge to harness herself to the runabout and to come to the door to take you for a drive because she thought you were looking pale. Anything that you want your horse to do, and which it is pos- sihle for his physique to accomplish, you may teach him; some horses, of course, much more easily than others. Due regard to conformation, nlmbleness and agility must always be had. Some born lunkheads can be taught little, and are the exceptions to the rule; some are so nervous and high-strung that but little confidence can be placed in them, however far one may succeed in carry ing the education. All your success will come from the same fundamental principles; deceiving them as to their ability to successfully resist; apprecia- ton of effects of the one-idea mind the timidity; the mental limitations, and the proportion and the use of the vari- ous senses. If a suspicion ever arises that you are not master that day and all other days your reign is in jeopardy, for the rebellion that nearly succeeds cherishes the spirit of obstinacy and wilfulness.
 Some of this doesn't conform to some of the notions about horses that are popular, but it may be as true as those notions are. Mir Ware has had much to do with horses, and perhaps he knows them as well as anybody. How little we really know about horses and the other animals with which we asso- ciate.
