bSalUage EgyptS Treasure P,o7e Successful a

In 1901 the steamship Alaska ran into an ice
berg and sank when returning from the Alaskan
gold fields. Many attempts have been made TO
salvage her great treasure but the depth at
which she rests and the strength of the current
made all efforts futile until last month"; when
Wiley brought up a rotting buckskin pouch of
the precious metal.
Divers gained invaluable experience when the
treasure of half million dollars borne in the
steamship Alfonso XII was lifted from the bot
tom in February, 1885, of the Canary Islands,
but modern methods in treasure recovery from
great depths date from operations of Fanad
Light, at the mouth of Tough Swilly, Northern
Neutrality-suspicious. which, during the Summer
months between 1918 and 1925, brought about
almost complete recovery of the $40, 600, 900
treasure carried down in the shattered hulk of
the Laurentic.
This British auxiliary cruiser, once a popular
White Star liner plying between Liverpool and
Quebec, went down in January, 1917. In her
strongrooms were 2,s75 ingots of gold worth
SIS. 000, 900, and IS 900 900 in silver specie con-
signed to American bankers in connection with
British war loans. Whether she struck mine
or was torpedoed has not been determined Her
captain r. A. Norton, testified there were two
terrific explosions. She was torn almost in half,
sinking Immediately, with the loss of $50 lives.
In 1918. with the war still raging and menace
Of submarines ever present the British admit
season sos bars of gold were recovered, but diff
hculties had become enormous. The hull had
crumbled to twisted tumble of beams and
shattered plates. The swift current in that
place had scattered the wreckage over a wide
area. Salvage men we're on the point of aban-
doning effort when Prof F. F. Brooks English
university man, approached the admiralty with
what has since come to be known as the Brooks
detector spear.
simple thing it is-a long rod to which are
attached wires leading from the diver to a
galvanometer on the salvage vessels deck-but
sure-fire treasure finder. Prodded about in
tfae muck of the sea bed, its needle turns left
when approaching base metals, but whirls right
in proximity to goldl The device trebled the
efficiency of the Laurentic diving operations.
When work finally was abandoned scarcely so
ingots remained unrecovered.
Divers working on the hulk Of the Laurentic
had to combat millrace current, but operated
at depth of only 80 feet. Quite different is the
situation OF the Italians endeavoring to recover
the sunken Egypt's wealth, for the p. & o.
liner, sunk May 20, 1922 in collision with the
French treighter Seine, lies $50 feet beneath the
surface. Ordinary diving gear was useless. The
pressure at that depth approximates that Of the

the depth causes poor visibility. Divers peering
from the glass ports Of their presSure-resisting
suits can see only feet before them

$4195000 and silver bullion worth 81 O75. 600.
Since the sinking silver has deprecated mark

total to something above 5000. O0O-a treasure
worth retrieving.
The 8.000-ton Egypt, it has been found, like
the Alfonso XII of the Canaries. sits upright
on the bottom, surrounded by trailing seaweed
and covered from stem to stern by a brown in
crlstation of marine vegetation. To clear q
path for winches to her strongroom three decks

through.
Already divers have recovered sufficient from
the Egypt's hull to make nearly certain eventual
recovery OF the entire treasure. With the
wrestling from the ocean of the Egypts wealth,
what will be the next step? Perhaps location
and plumber of the rich-laden Drummond
Castle, sunk in 1896, which lies somewhere
nearby. Perhaps it will be the Lusitania, whose
