SEEK TREASURE
LOST OFF MIAMI
Sunken Spanish GalIeon is Sought by
Adventures.
(By Associated Press)

MIAMI. Fla, Jan. Another search
for treasure-trove. a sunken Spanish
galleon laden with stolen doubloons,
has begun on the Atlantic coast OF
Florida, between Deerfield and Boca
Ratone. Romance has lured this time
a group of adventurous men of Deer
field and Whereabouts to dig in the
oceans bottom for the buccaneers pi-
rate ship which, tradition says. had
hauled too close TO the treacherous
shores when pursued syndicate
formed for the search has begun oper-
ations where the galleon is supposed
to have sunk in the sands.
This is only one of the many such
adventures off the South Florida coast
which in the old days before the adj
vent of lighthouses was the scene of
many wrecks. Treasure seekers have
brought up a few ancient hulls which
had been deeply buried in sand, some
dating back five or six centuries. But
so far no ship thus recovered has
yielded anything except ancient wood.
One prospector is said to have spent
two fortunes near Stuart before quit
ting the romantic game.
Fulford, IL miles north of Miami,
has been the scene of many searches.
Tradition has il that a pirate ship
escaped pursuers by sailing up creek
near Futford, where the crew cele-
brated by getting drunk. Seminole In
dams boarded the vessel and massacred
the crew. except one. the story runs,
and the escaped pirate succeeded in
rescuing the ships treasure chest
filled with gold which he buried near
by. making a diagram of the spot. I'm
able to return, the pirate is said to
have given the diagram to a friend.
This has been used by several search
ing parties equipped with every kind
of a gold finder. but they failed to To-
cate the treasure.
A native living nearby says the
spot is haunted and that even now
the ghosts of the pirates howl and
sroan when anyone nears 1t. He says
no one is ever going to get the treas
ure as the ghosts carry on something
terrible when you get close to it, and
there's no telling what they would dc
If they got their hands on it. Any
thing might happen in that terrible
place"
