TREASURE HUNTERS
ARE NOT DISCOURAGED
Ward Liner Sunk i'm 1911 Has Not
Yet Been Found BY
Divers

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 4.--The Ward
Line steamer Merida, sunk ffty-two
miles northeast of Cape Charles light
the summer OF 1911, is still undis-
covered at the bottom OF the ATTAIN
tic. Three treasure ships equipped by
the Inter Ocean Submarine Engineec-
ing Company. financing a hunt in
which 1t hopes to win millions. put
in to Norfolk Wednesday morning
for minor repairs. In the three
weeks or more they have spent drag
ging for the rich prize, they have
found no trace of the lost ship. In
no manner discouraged, though, they
put back to sea as soon as possible
and will continue operations until the
Merida has been discovered or the
Company's resources are strained 10
the limit.
Captain c. Hermanson master of
the steamer F. II. Beckwith, fiaG>>Tfp p
OF the treasure feet, said that weather
conditions had been very unfavora BILE.
This. the third return to port was
ascribed by the master to slight leaks
in the BeckWtths boilers. a welding
barge was moored alongside of her
and a crew of repairmen were kept
busy on her machines.
Equipped as Trawlefs.
Accompanying the Beckwith were
the two auxiliary treasure ships
Fearless and Titania, both of them
motor ships They present the APP
pearance of trawlers used in mine
sweeping throughout the war zones
Of Europe Both are equipped with
apparatus for dragging the bottom.
With detailed plans. specifications
and descriptions of the Merida, even
small bit of her superstructure
would be sufficient to identify her
almost immediately.
The second week the treasure hunt
ers were engaged on the scene OF the
wreck, sunken hulk was discovered.
1t was soon found that she was not
the Merida. Marked with buoy, she
was left untouched. Not unless plans
for salvage of the larger prize are

Master Diver Not Discouraged.
Captain Stillson, master diver. in
ventor and chief of the treasure hunt.
spent Wednesday in Newport News.
He was quoted by Captain HERNIA nson
as being not the least disappointed
in lack OF results The Beckwith' $
captain declared that neither Captain
Stillson nor other men interested in
the venture had expected to find the
hun without difficulty. Submerged for
five years In sand that is constantly
shifting, they expected at the start
to scour several miles Of bottom be-
fore the Merida should be found.
The Beckwith Is one OF the best
equipped ships that has ever left port

divers are included in the crew of
thirty-four men carried on the three
ships. Every emergency has been
foreseen in equipping the Beckwith.
