ticles Of gold and fragments OF an
cient oaken chests
Although men have dug for the
treasure since 1875, the complete
story of the impregnable Oak island
cache is told probably for the first
time by Charles B. Driscoll in the
current North American Review.
Driscoll, a specialist in pirate his
tory and ancient sea lore, believes
that the treasure, II ever recovered,
may throw an entirely new light on
the ancient history Of America and
prove the existence Of a Scandina-
Wan civilization in Nova Scotia long
before Columbus discovery.
When Washington was President,
the quest began with the landing Of
the three young Nova Scotian woods
men, Daniel McInnes, anthony
Vaughn and Jack Smith on the sup
posedly uneXplored island, where
they found circular depression,
overgrown with grass, beneath a
SCARED oak. Beginning to dig, out
of curiosity, they struck an oaken
platform, at a depth Of ten feet.
At twenty feet and again at thirty
feet similar platforms were struck,

organized their friends and the dig
ging turned into mining operation.
A company was formed. At one ten
foot interval layer Of putty and
charcoal substituted for the plat
form, at another a layer Of fibrous
bark. Finally at ninety feet the dig
gers unearthed a fiat stone bearing
undecipherable characters. Digging
few feet deeper they suspended
for the weekend and returned
on Monday to find the pit filled
sixty feet deep with water, which
had entered from the bottom.
The attempt was abandoned, but
in 1849 a drill was set to work in the
pit. Under sixty feet of water and
earth, it bit into what appeared to
be chests filed with metal, bringing
