goes that the wreck, then about fifty
years old, was found among the
growing coral and seaweeds of the
reef. Divers were sent down who
located big guns and at the same time
the sought after treasure.
After paying expenses, Phipps
managed TO land in England with
100000, of which 100000 went to
the Duke OF Albemarle as his share,
and 10000 was returned for every
500 share. The Crown received
10000 and young Phlpps $4,000,
which seems immeasureably dispro-
portionate. But It is not unlikely
that, following the custom OF the
period, due allowance had been made
for the sum to which Phipps was sup
posed to have helped himself AS to
the King. he was certainly had" in
proper fashion, If only 10000 ac-
crued to him as his share, but the
writer to whom the story is due wrote
before the facts were fully known.
That his Britannia Majesty was fully
satisfied with the results of the eXpe-
dition is apparent from the honors
which were subsequently bestowed
upon young Phipps. The King made
him a knight and presently Governor
of the New England colonies, which
are said never to have had a better
down to the time they found it more
fitting to govern themselves without
the benevolent aid of the Defender of
the Faith
The foregoing shows the openings
in store now for the successful search
ers of buried or sunken treasures.
Certain it is that the chances Of sue
cess are far greater to-day than they
were then, thanks to the mechanical
appliances which can be probably
utilized nowadays as contrasted with
the crude methods of 200 years ago.
However, the Duke OF Argyll appears
to have had less success with the
treasure hunting operations on his es-
tate at Tobermory than the other
peer who so profitably patronized
young Phipps. 1t is announced that
the divers employed by the Scottish
Duke have suspended the operations
for the season, but are confident that
next year they will raise from the
deep the treasures carried by the
Spanish galleon Duque de Florencia
