nothing.
Operations being directed by Captain William
Burns of the most noted marine salvage experts
in Britain. a who has the record of relocating
one hundred and thirty-seven vessels without
failure His men in this venture have already
brought up swords, pistols, fagons, candlesticks,
and many other articles, proving Enthusiastically the
presence of the vessel and it is believed they will
locate the after part of her hull and her treasure

there for than three centuries. 1t is cacu-
lated that the FlOrentlas treasure, embracing as 1T
did the money to pay soldiers and sailors during the
campaign designed to end III the conquest of Eng
land, must have been equal to at least fifteen million
dollars of our present coinage, while the Admiral
himself was a renowned sybarite who always ate
and drank from silver plates and golden gobets and

sunk there in 1902. The facts as to this tlotia and
its golden ading indisputable and fully score of
treasure seeking expeditions, with all sorts of Won
derful salvage apparatus invented for the purpose,
have been trying their luck in this quest for CEN
fury. Whether Pine will have better fortune, time
alone tell; but the great difficulty in these
is that the bottom of the sits up rapidly, and
vessels of the size of these treasure ships in
due course buried beneath the ooze. And it
happens that in large bay it is extremely difficult
to locate the particular spots where they con-
Cealed.
Similar fruitess attempts have been made to
locate the wreck of the British craft Black
Prince, sunk by Russian gun fire at Sebastopol with
a cargo of than three million dollars in gold
and valuabes the hull of East India merchant
man Grosvenor, which went down off St. John s,
Cape Colony, with five millions of specie in her hold;
while the same disappointment has met the searchers
for hundred and fifty million dollars of pirate
loot hidden on the coast of Maurtius Island in the
Indian Ocean, the spoil of countless fine vessels
pundered there in the Palrny days when British and
French struggled for mastery of the Carnatc, and
every adventurer enriched himself with the spos of
Kings and Ra jas But thus far of the secreted
boards in Mauritius has been brought to light,
albeit many parties of searchers are almost con-
stantly at work.

A Voyage of Mystery

IN August 1906 the ketch Catherine left the Isle of
Man for mystery port in the Caribbean Sea, an
island reported to contain pirate hoard of est-
its hiding place revealed by an old sailor while
his death bed nearly thirty years ago, ship S
doctor named Dawson, the sailor alleging that he
was made prisoner in 1903 by Latrobe, notorious
buccaneers who, being chased by American
warship, landed on this island and buried their
loot. After putting to again they overcome
by the warshp, and all on board killed except this
sailor. Dawson, whom he informed, organized an
expedition in 1887, and found the island and the
place where the treasure said to be buried
without difficulty But digging down through a
bed of shells which had been placed over the hoard

An Obdurate Government

THE most extraordinary treasure seeking expe
dition of modern times is that OF the Coils
Diamond Syndicate of London. which started from
Cardiff last August 10, to explore Halifax Island
one of the Guano Archipelago off the South African
coast in the hope of discovering diamonds there
geologist in Wales having declared that they eX-
isted in that group in fabulous quantities. a con-
ditional license obtained from the Cape Colony
Government and syndicate formed in England OF
peers parliamentarians, judges, generals, writers
like Conan Doyle and men eminent in every walk
of life The steamer Nema chartered and
despatched the island with the requisite apparatus
for prospecting; but the Cape Government, alleg-
ing that feared the birds which resort there would
be driven away and the future of the islands as pro-
ducers of guano impaired, decided not to permit
the expedition to pursue its scheme, and sent a
gunboat to the archipelago to prohibit the Nema S
people from landing. This stopping of the adven-
turous spirits who had the project in hand put an
end to their picturesque undertaking, to the great
disappointment of the British public.
The venture started on the faith of a
story told to man named Griffith, formerly a
mining expert with the De Beers Mining Com
pany, and a geologst of repute, by Captain
Jones, master of guano carrying vessel which
once loaded there. In wandering about the
island Jones discovered stones which he be-
lieved to be rock crystals and OF which he took
only few, believing them to be of little OF no
value. On reaching England, however, he
accidentally found that they were diamonds,
and when he made his next trip he brought
back large parcel of the stones, which he {
showed to Griffith, who pronounced them dia-
monds of the first water. Jones died before
he could make third trip to the island, but
left map of the place for Griffith, who
formed the syndicate with the aid of Coils.

Englishmen took shares in it. The expedition
cost fifty thousand dollars, and has brought
