SUNKEN GOLD DISAPPEARS
Money Lost in sinking ship Cannot
BE Found by Rescue
Party.

SYDNEY, April 21.--(Special Cablegram
to The Bee AN incident of the wreck of
the steamer Elingamite on the coast OF
New Zealand on November 3, 1909, was
the loss of a number of cases of gold
valued at $4,000. Since then several ex-
petitions have sought to recover tho
treasure.
The last of the series of expeditions
returned to wellington a few days ago.
They report having found the wreck, but
say that the cases of gold have disap-
peared. The first attempt was made by
an Auckland syndicate, but the seekers
were unable to locate the resting place Of
the ship Another expedition located the
wreck, but difficulties arose and the ex-
petition was fruitless. The third ex-
petition was dispatched by Wellington
saloon keeper named Cow. He made
elaborate preparations and the vessel was
given a great send-off. The effort to find
the treasure. however. failed, owing to
rough weather, but the adventures were
able to assure themselves that the gold
was there and easily accessible under fine
weather conditions. So they sat down to
wait for midsummer. When the summer
came they began to make preparations
anew, and while they were preparing there
arrived a vague, drifting story of three
Americans who little while before had
landed at Auckland, ostensibly for deep
sea fishing, but with an equipment not
usually held to be necessary on fishing
excursions. The story ended with three
cheerful Americans drinking wine riot
ously on mail steamer bound from
Auckland for San Francisco and making
mysterious references to the Elingamite
No Importance was attached to this at
the moment. but it has gained a good
deal of significance in view of the report
of the expedition which has just returned.
This Is that the sunken vessel has been
shattered as If by explosives and that
there is no sign whatever of the gold that
was plainly seen six months ago.
