THE BUSEAB. â€"â€" the British Frigate In Year: Ago Went Down at Hell Cale With “or Gold and Prisoners-Captain Simomls Plan to Recover the Vanished Treasure. The queer looking flotilla. which came up the Sound a few days ago and took a is tion in Hell gate, almost opposite Port or- ris, says the New York Sun, has demanded “$00,000 as tribute. The money is locked up under ninety feet of water and about twenty-five feet of mud and sand, and, in addition, is securely bound by a covering of wood and iron, rusted and barnacled until the mass is of flint-like hardness. It has been thus guarded in Davy J ones's locker for more than a hundred years. Several attempts have been made to secure the rich treasure, but Hell Gate has proved the strongest kind of a safety vault, and, so far as is known, the money is where it sank one hundred and twelve years ago. A generation back the last concerted effort to penetrate the barriers was made, and the searchers for the hidden wealth were forced to retreat with the treasure almost within reach. Some of it actuall was secured by the divers, a few scattere coins, enough to give credence to the story of fabulous wealth handed down from generation to generation, but the swift tides and Egyp- tian darkness balked every effort to find the gold. The Little Giant Hussar Wrecking Com- pany has been started on a different basis, and if it don’t haul up the sunken guineas it will be because there are no guineas there. Its search will be carried on by means of the latest perfectious of science for such work. Electricty will furnish the light and an application of hydraulic force will rend the wreck asunder. Then it will be known whether history in this case has been true or false ; whether the good ship Hussar was a treasure ship, or Whether, after all, TIIE CUTTERle GUINEAS existed only in the imagination of some sailor. There are people who have so much confidence in the truth of the story as to have subscribed $10,000 with which to pros- ecute the search. A stock company has been formed with the shares quoted at $100 each and nearly all of them were taken by residents of the little town of Leominstcr, Massachusetts, 0. country place remote from the salt water. It is pure speculation on the part of these villagers. 1f the gold is found, they will‘ealize fabulous returns for the investment. 'If not, well, the money might have been lost just the same in other channels of speculation. The story of the wreck of the Hussar, as handed down from the Revolutionary period is mightily interesting. The Hussar was a 3'2-gun ship, 206 feet in length, with a 58-foot beam. She reached this port on 23d day of November, in the year 1780. The Hussar and the warship Mercury had a fleet of merchant vessels under convoy, and served as cariiers of the gold sent by the British Government in payment of the troops then in rendezvous at New London, Conn. The Mercury carried £380,000 sterling (mostly in British guineas). The Hussar carried £580,000 sterling. The ag- gregate was £960,000, or $4,800,000 in American money. After the fleet had anchored in New York harbor, the gold on the Mercury was transferred to the Hussai', and while the former remained to protect his Majesty the King’s property, the Hussar l)’ set sail for New London. The Captain was in a hurry, so he ventured to take the route through Hell Gate instead of the longer but safer southern passage around Long Island. Hell Gate was a different place then from what it is now, and the dangers of the water gap were heightened by an ignorance of the course. The Captain had heard that a negro pilot had successfully steered a lar e frigate through the labyrinth of rocks and he imagined that he could do the same thing. But Hell Gate was aptly named in those days. At best it was an ugly place, even for the lightest and smallest of craft, but for such a heavily burdened and cum- bersonie ship-of-war as the Hussar it meant almost certain destruction to attempt the passage. But the Captain was wise in his owu conceit, and, after taking on board several prisoners, he set sail and headed the ship for Hell Gate. The American prisoners were manacled to the gun deck. The Hussar had great suc- cess in running the gauntlet until only a few rods separated her from open water. Then she struck heavily on a sunken reef not noted on the chart. The current was running swiftly and the crash opened a big scam in the ship's bottom, The recoil from the ledge sent ier back into the current, and she was swept into the Open water, sinking fast. All attempts to stop the leak were unavailing. The only chance for sal~ vation was in benching her. For this pur- pose there was a promising place three- but still the gold remained undisturbed. Then there was a long period of inactivity, during which the tides packed the wreck down more solidly with sand and mud. This current has been the chief obstacle in the search for the treasure, for it sweeps down past this particular spot with special force. The bulk of the sunken treasure ship lies at the base of asteep precipice, with fille with mud and debris swept round her stern and packed in by the whirl of the tide. The starboard side is clearer. These facts were discovered by divers, who have explored the surface of the wreck. Twenty six years ago the most formidable attack on ’the wreck was made by a company of Worcester capitalists, who organized the “ Worcester Hussar Company ” and made enough headway to cause the excitement on this subject to break out afresh. Capt. Charles B. Pratt, one of the pioneer divers of the country, who afterward became Mayor of Worcester, was the originator of that company. \Vith his assistants, be tackled the wreck with dynamite, and in a few months had torn away all of the upper structure. The heavy guns had long before crushed through the deck and lodged over the owder magazine and treasure vault, and had been cemented down by baruacles and sand until the pick would make no im- pression on the mass. All this work was carried on in the dark, and progress was necessarily slow. Yet enough articles of historic interest and actual value were found by groping along the deck to fan the excitement of the stockholders. A good many gold and silver coins were found in what were probably the officers’ quarters, and, mingled with them, were pieces of human bones and skullsâ€"all that remained of the hapless prisoners. A jewel casket filled with n‘eckleces, crosses, rings, ear- drops, pearls, and other jewels of great value was brought from the depths one day, but that same night it was stolen. Pots and jars of antiquated shapes, bearing on their sides the stamp of the vessel and the royal monogram of Georgina Rex, slender beer ots of curious construction ; leathern buc- ets with the name “ Hussar ” in broad letters still legible ; thousands of cannon balls and bushels of gun flints, together with several whole cannon, one of which was sold for $1,500, while others found a resting place in Central Parkâ€"all these things were dislodged by the divers. They also found many pieces of silver and pewter ware, and, what is more to the point, a mass of what had once been siver coin with an occasional gold coin scattered through the lump. The salt water had washed away the alloy, leaving only the pure metal. These curiOs are now widely scattered, having been dis- tributed among those who had sunk their money in the speculative enterprise, for this expedition, like the others, ended in fail- ure so far as its real purpose was concerned. Then followed another long season in which the tides were permitted to spread another covering of detritus over the buried treasure, and it was apparently forgotten. The present company will continue the search until the that there is no gold there. She Was in it to Stay They were crooning under the great oak tree, with the moonlight shimmering through the leaves. “ If I should tell you I love you, Ethel, what would you say ‘2” he whispered tender- “ I don’t know, Harry,” she murmured. “If I should ask you to be my wife, Eth- elâ€"what '1” He attempted to take her hand in his, but she thwarted him. " I don’t know, Harry,” she answered as before. Her conduct vexed him. Was the girl deceiving him? Or was he deceiving him~ self? “ What do you know, Ethel 2‘” he asked in a tone of sarcastic doubt. The girl rose from the rustic beach on which she had been sitting. “ I know this much, Mr. Montmorenci,” she said forcibly, “ That no young man on a moonlight night is going to fool me by ten- tative statements preceded by palpable ifs and implying hypotheses capable of back- slams and crawtishing. I’m in it to stay if you are, but we go in together. See '3” At that moment the moon shone out with a more radiant efi‘ulgence and Mr. Mont- ear, or words to that effect. A Terrible Warning.
