The newspapers printed the story with a flourish of headlines, such as “The Duke's Billion Tress-f ure."

Again, Elfin 1655, his son tried to recover the .itreasure. apparently without suc- lleess. From the records it is learned .lthat the wreck then was in a sadly ‘ battered state, and that it was diffi- cult to find anthing but the rust- encrusted guns. Much quarreling‘ seems to have ensued over the sunk-l en treasure, and many appeals were MADE TO THE LAW. In 1730 the diving bell was (-m- ploycd a second time. A very fine' bronze gun was recovered. as well as many gold and silver coins. Along: with the large gun were others bearal ing the English founders' mark of‘F "R. and G.
