When about 33 miles {from Buffalo, off Silver Creek, a slight explosion was heard and almost im- mediately the whole vessel was en- {veloped Te flames. On board the Erie were scores of immigrants bound for ithe West and. specie amounting to | ,000, but in the excitement and | appalling loss of life which followed, no thought was given to the treasure. The steamer De Witt Clinton came in time to save many lives, but down the Erie carried 100 with her. For years after this treasure ship. lay half buried in sand 70 feet under water. Not } 14 years later in 1856, was s lsuocessful attempt made to raise hér. In that year a treasure seeking party left Buffalo and towed the hull into jahallow water. A fortune in foreign jfactsey was secured, mostly in five Other stories of treasure recovered from the bottom of the lakes are quite {numerous. In 1802 the steamer Wil- {iam H.

As yet, on account of the depth of the water in which she lies, only $7,000 worth of copper has been recovered from her. One of the most terrible events in Lake history was the loss of the At- lantic, with 300 lives, off Long Point, Lake Erie, in 1852. Bhe went down with a valuable eargo, and for many years searches for her were made from time to time. Bhe was not feund until a few years ago, when cargo to the value of $30,000 was raised.
