¢ PAGE EIGHT THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE SEEK TREASURE” OF $3,000,000 | IN SEA DEPTHS Party Working Sixty Miles Off, Virginia Capes to Recover | Treasure Sunk 11 Years i i BELIEVE SUCCESS AHEAD, \ Norfolk, Va., Oct. 5.--Search for sunken treasure amounting to $3,00).- 000 and which has been at the hotton., | of the ocean eleven years in the} wreck of the Ward Line steamsii) | Merida is. vigorously going on at a) point 60 miles east of the Virginia | capes where the Merida went down! after a collision with the United Fruit Cempany’s steamer Admiral Farragut i Woid has come from the treasure; hun.ers that they believe they have lo- cxted the wreck of the sunken vessel and expect to bring t) the surface of tie ocean the gold, silver and precious stones which had to b2 abandoned when the vessel sunk. The search for the treasure ship's wreck is being made from the steamer | Ripple, a disreputable looking craft. Looks don’t amount to much as fa’ ag salvage vessels go, however, and} aboard the Ripple is the best gear for the work in‘hand that can be obtained Manned by a picked crew of twenty- five men the ship carries three of the Lest knoWn divers of {he country, all of them able to work at depths consid- erably in exces of the 200 feet, in which the Merida is 3upp.sed to lie. Rich Men Finance It. The search for the Merida’s treas- ure is being financed by a group of prominent New Yorkers. The Ripple left New York on August 30, and has been steadily dragging the bottom at a point approximately sixty miles east of ‘Cape Charles, where the Merida is supposed to have foundered, When the Ripple -ommenced the sweeping of the bottom at the position given by Captain Geourge W. Nord-} strom, chief officer of the Merida when she sank, a. six-mile row of buoys, spaced a mile apart, was placed sv that_the same ground would not be; twice gone over. Finally the drag line grew taut. Captain Nordstrom who is; aboard the Ripple, betieved that the obstruction encountered is a pile of the Merida’s lifeboats and liferafts which were dropped over ‘from the steamship Hamilton after she had tak- en the passéngers aboard. The Ham- ilton’s. position at that time is esti- mated at from’a quarter ‘of a mile t») a mile from the spot where the Meri- da rests. Those aboard the steamer feel con- fident that, once located,’ the wreck can easily be stripped »f its treasurer. Among the three divers is Frank J.! Crilley, who holds the world’s record for depth, 306 feet, made while he was assisting in attempts to rescue the crew of the submarine F-5, sunk of Honolulu some years ago, Fred Nie!- son, who went down 285 feet when en- gaged upon the same task 1s also aboard, The third member of the div- ing trio is Frank Kramer, well knowr. up and down the coast. Half Million in Gold, The Merida’s treasure consists of 1 large quantity of silver, about $500,000 in gold and a quantiiy of, precious stones. She was sunk in May, 1910, when bound from Mexico, via Havana, for New York, by the steamer Admiral Farragut. The collision occurred about midnight, in a iug, the Merida .Temaining afloat for six hours. The Admiral Farragut was badly damaged but remained afloat. All passengers of the Merida were saved by ships which answered her SOS messages. The vessel had 4,700 tons of copper in her hold, carried as ballast. She is believed to be resting on, an even keel on the hard sand bottom which obtains in the vicinity. The Ripple expedition is second to at- tempt the finding of the Merida: About fourvyeats:ago.a number of New York enpitdtists fitted up « steamer and dragged for some days for the wreck, lt was believed at one time. that she had been located but )ad weaher pre- vented further operations.

MILES IN Walkers, “Carry a, Cane!” By N..E. A. Servie Newark, « Oct. 6.- Edward Pay- son Weston, although in his eighty- third year, firmly believes he can dup- licate his record-breaking feat of 1874. in thig. city, when he astonished the world by walking 500 miles in a little less than six days. He's. here again today and expecis to try the feat in November. Can he do it? * Well, he’s spry and active as though he was below the half-century mark, and shows no. signs, either in appear: ance or actions, of being an-octogen- arian. He stili walks erect, :with the same stalwart stride that has, made him famous the last 50 years. Does ‘he look his age? No, ‘despite his: white air. and long white mustache. Weston doesn’t. smoke or drink liquor, eats three-’'meais a day, and makes temperance in everything his slogan. . His Principal Meal. Breakfast is the walker’s principal. meal. -It usually consists of rolled oats, eggs, bread and outter and two cups of coffee, He* doesn’t believe in medicine of any kind. Salt and water mixed is his favorite remedy for throat and other ordinary ills. . He boasts of having had no serious illness since: 1870, anid. ascribes his good health to the exercise of walk- a simple, but vigor- ous life. Just now-he is doing some lectur- ing about New York. He wants to collect enough money ‘to finish pay- ment of a $10,000 debt contracted ‘on World Famous Pedestrian Tels ' AT. 82.

He regards as his.greatest feat hi 600-mile walk against time in old Jn- dustrial hall in Newar« in 1874. This he completed in 22 minutes short ‘of six days. « Thousands of dollars were wagered for and against him, the majority say- ing he couldn’t do it.

Yhe chief of police with drawn r yolver took a place y his side, sur- rounded the walker by a cordon of detectives, and thus Weston finished the last five miles amid much excite- ment. zs IOWA BOVINES AT DAIRY SHOW ‘Hamline, Minn., Oct. 5—Three hun- dred. of Iowa bovines arrived yester- day for the national dairy show which opens at the state fair. grounds: next (Saturday: .They, came in 50 cars—a special train—and included 14 prize: Guernseys. ‘Machinery exhibits placed in the large fair building are from every part of the country and with cattle pour: his last cross-country nike, declaring he wishes to face his Maker with a clean slate. ’ Tip’ to Walkers, Weston: says all walkers should car- ry. a cane, staff or swagger stick, for it helps to’keep one’s mind off the strain, and keeps swelling out of the hands, so frequently encountered when the hands are. allowed to swing at the sides for long periods. : At present he carries a cane given ing in daily from now until the open- ing day managers’of the show say, everything will be in readiness when the exposition: opens. - : American women have the most beautiful eyes in the. world, says a London photographer. if Nice warm: furnished room, for “rent, Close in.
