SEEK BIG SEA PRIZE
Fortunes Spent to Recover
Treasure on Sunken Craft.
Many Try to Secure E1,0oo, 600 In
Gold Insots Which Went Down
With British Warship or cor,t
Of Holland In 1879.

London.-The greatest prize Of the
sea, and one which has excited the
mind of man for well over a century,
is the British warship Lutine. which
sank on the coast of Holland in 1899.
In her strongroom were stored ingots
and coin, estimated to be worth over
e1,000.000. just after she was
wrecked the Dutch fishermen were
said to be able to get to her at GER
tain tides, and they recovered q por-
ton of the precious cargo.
Then, however. the set Of the cur
rent changed, and the Lutine was
swallowed up. Since then several for
tunes have been spent in efforts to
recover the treasure. At one of these
attempts the ships bell was brought
up, and 1t now hangs in Lloyd's, the
underwriters, where 1t is tolled on
very special occasions. Altogether.
about 100000 has been got out Of
her.
Some little while ago another at
tempt was made to retrieve the re-
AaoihuCA VI tuio Au6O AAOAA thO
grasp of the ocean. All of the latest
machinery of modern submarine en-
cheering science was concentrated
to this end.
Now, although the Lutine's position
had been marked fairly accurately for
upwards of hundred years, a terrific
gale blotted out the most important
landmark-and where was the Lutine?
The salvors did not know. Divers
went down and searched on the spot
where she was supposed to be. but
they could not find her.
Then the leader of these modern
treasure hunters decided on a plan for
ascertaining her whereabouts.
Among the appliances Of the expe-
dition were powerful new sandpumps,
one of which was capable of shifting
1000 tons of sand an hour. Dropping
the end Of this giant pump over the
side of the steamer, he set 1t going.
and started to suck up the sea bed at
a rapid rate, moving. of course. all the
time. He knew more or less where
the wreck should lie, and his idea was
to cut deep trench right across this
area, and to keep on cutting and cross
cutting until he had found her. For

hours the dredging went on; sand
poured ceaselessly from the pump;
thousands Of tons Of 1t were removed.
Then the Lutine was rediscovered.
buried 30 feet deep in . sandbank.
In this manner the first difficulty
was overcome. But many more had
to be met, the chief being the strong
tides which are continually altering
the shape Of the shoals, and the rough
seas which seem to rage along that
coast to an abnormal degree. When
ever the sea subsided and made It
practicable for work to continue, the
dredging went on. Erected over the
stern. Of the salvage steamer was q
queer-looking arrangement something
like q giant birdcage. and through
this was poured all the sand sucked
up. The contrivance was in reality a
tremendous sieve, with q mesh co
small that not even half q sovereign
could escape through It. By the aid
Of this apparatus the salvors literally
sifted the bed Of the sea, and in the
sitting many coins and other things
came to light.
But the treasure was doomed not
to be withdrawn from its deep-sea
bank. A storm arose and effectually
stopped operations. after the hunters
had created a record by shifting one
million tons of sand. That they were
very near to the treasure is beyond all
doubt. for one day lump Of rust was
brought up containing an impression
the exact shape Of a gold bar, and
when this rust was treated with acids
It resulted in i've grains of gold being
recovered.
