TREASURE SHIP

Army Engineers Who DlscOv-

Report SlOOp Missing
COINS WASHED ASHORE

Hopes for recovered treasure
from the sloop Faithful Steward,
which sank off the mouth of Indian
River, below Lewes, more than $50
years ago, have been swept to sea,
according to the report of United
States Army engineers dredging in
that area On September 13 army
engineers discovered the wreck and
some ancient coins apparently
minted in Ireland and bearing dates
of 1871 and 1772. Dredging was
suspended and a treasure hunt was
On. However, Capt. Carl w. Mey-
er, army engineer in charge of the
dredging from the mouth of Indian
River to Indian River Bay, report
ed to Maj. c. w. Burlin, U. S. A.
Engineer in charge of this area,
that recent storms apparently dis
lodged the wreck and carried it to
sea. The Faithful Steward appar-
emily was the source of the Irish
copper currency that had been
washed ashore from time to time
last summer The coins bore the
inscription ''Hibernia Georgius III
Rex" The Londonderry Comm
Journal of Nov Is, 1875, tells how
200 of the 249 passengers and crew
members o fthe Faithful Steward
drowned when the ship sank only
100 yards from shore.

work, finishing up drainage and

mile route between Ocean City and

progress will be halted and work
begun on the Maridel Beach-Ocean
City two-mile stretch. One official
of the contracting concern said
that the original survey for the
road along the beach, upon which
his firm had submitted bids, had
been superseded by second sur
vey made by the state. Under the
conditions of the first survey, the
route extended along fiat areas
necessitating greater fll-in and less
removal of materials. The second
survey, made to the right of the
first one, places the route of the
beach highway directly through
heavy sand dunes north of Isle of
Wight In addition, the contract
ing official said, the rights of way
through a strip of beach property
upon which the road must extend,
have not as, yet been obtained by
the State Roads Commission. This
strip of land, owned by a New
York syndicate, lies near the Della
ware line south of Fenwick Island
Lighthouse. The sand and asphalt
highway, which is to be placed
atop the roadbed after grading and
leveling is finished, under a separ-
ate contract to be let by the state,
will not be started before the

aminations will be held on Satur-

cations must be received in his Of
fee on or before November 2. His
Office in Newark is sending out ap-
plication blanks and other infor-
nation to all who request them.

dents of the State of Delaware for
the past two years, and must be
citizens of the United States. There

perience. Persons whose applica-
tions are accepted will be notified
