TH E TREASURE OF VIGO BAY. An Attemnt to be Made to Ralse the | " spautsh Ga Al T Riches Sunk at Onc nphishiaen i havepre 1 on A visit to s past f works fow | ro otia to-morrow. A his- | tory of Col. Gowan's engiveering feats | would fill & volume, butone of his | greatest exploits was the clearing of |the harbor of Sevastopol in the Crimen, just after the war between Eogland and Russia. Just prior to this time the colonel acquired consid erable reputatic blowing up the wreck of the U ates man-of-war Missouri, which n i the channel off the fort at Gibraltar, and his fame brought him to the knowl edgo of the Russian authoritics. The bistory of the damming up of the har- bor of Sevastopol 1s sufficiently well known to be passed over in a few words, Toward the cloze of the war in 1806, or just after the battle of Aima, the alliea floet threatened the harbor, and the Rus- oians saw that its capture was incvita ble unless they could in some way rendor 1t inncoesstble to the enemy. Accordingly, orders were issued to sink aline of vessels between Forta Consiantine and Alexaudria, which are on opposite sides of the mouth of the harbor, and about half a mile apart, Fourteen men-of-war, denud- ed of their masts and spars, only, were first sunk on the line, but, as a storm disturbed them, two other lines of sunken vessels were made, and the harbor was rendered thoroughly im practicable, Inaddition to this, there were too booms, oue of heavy masts and spars, and the other of twenty- eight inch cable, thrown across the harbor, but the weight of the iror: on the former sunk it to the bottom, and the latter would have offered but a poor resistance to the entrance of the fleet, The Russians made soveral in- effectual attempts to clear the harbor after the war, and it was inspected by numbers of engineers who shook their heads and declined to undertako the work. Finally the Russian minister at Washington requested Colonel Gowen to examine the harbor and give his opinion as to the practica- bility of clearing it. Arriving at St Petersburg Col. Gowen had an inter- view with the Grand Duke Constan- tine, and was sent on board a frigate of the Russian navy to Sevastopol He decided that it was possiblo, aud was asked whether he would under- take to work on contract, or superin- tend it on the part of the govérnmeont, He chose to make a contract, and im- mediately returned to this country and ordered the machivery and other ma- terial need He sent out four cais- sons, ench G5 feet long, 50 feet wide and 15 feev deep, several 50-horse power engines and other ma and was ready to harbor early in 18 This prepara. tion nearly exhausted his capital, and his case was a bad one ndeed, to fing when he tried the practical working of his machinery that he had only one- half of the power he had calculated upon. He raised the money after a stroggle, and then set men to work in Poland to cut the timber needed for more caiseons. The magniwude of this work may be imagined when it was explained that the timber had to be rafted over 2,000 miles, Of this material he made caissons 130 feet wide and twenty-five feot deep, Ob- structions in the river down which the logs were rafted caused frequent delays, and fully two years woere con- sumed in work that ovght to have been done in less than one. Event- ually, however, everything was ready. Ho had previously ascertained the lccations of the sunken vessels, and bad passed heavy chains bencath them. Then he rauged three caissons on each side of each of the vessels, at- tached the chains, which ran over drums, to the powerful engines they carried, and the veceeel was slowly drawn out of tbe depths. Most of vessels wero deeply imbedded in the soft eand, some of them having pone trated twenty-three feet into that yielding substance, and the passing of the chuiog beneath them was one of bis most diflicult achievements, The harbor has an almost uniforia depth of sixty feet, und hence, us he could raise a vessel only fifteen ata time, he had Jto ‘hook on” to it, as he says, three or four times. His equipment cost §1,600,000, but as the veesels were his prize the under- taking proved a profitable one, In all he raised seventy- vessels of war, including the frigate Twelve Apostles, of 133 guns, at that time the largest war vessel in the world, Some of the other vessels raized wero the Marin, 120 guos; the frigate Three Saints, 120 guns; the frigate T'chesma, 120 guns, and the war and Swetzilslay, of When the task had b C)l, Gowen was kni, 1 by the em id - received several of the 8 of the ¢ I'he enterprisc arly of labor; e inducements held out to him by the Russian ernment, among which was the man- agement of an 1mmense railway sys tem, at a salary equal to that of the president of the United States, he ve turned to his native land, Colonel Gowan's present mission to urope relates to the Spanish gal- leons, whereby hangs a story. Dur. ing the war of the Spanish succcesion, when England and Holland— then the strongest naval nations of the world —were allied against Spain and France, the tributes from the Ameri- can dominions of Spain accumulated for several years, for fear of Anglo- Datch cruisers, and it was not until 1702 that arrangements were 1 for transporting it to Spain, 4 furnished a flect of veesels of war to convey the treasure gallsons from the Antilles to Cadiz. There were twenty of |‘~~m4 calleons, which were sssly for the carriage of he galloon Almor- thre fitted up ¢ 700 t ous each, | ante carried forty-four guns, La Buf. foona fifiy-four,” La Capitana d'As- s s fifty-four, and the Neustra Sen ora de las Animas forty-four guns, T others had armswments of from ten to thirty-eix guns,and we: ro regard- ed as strong war vessels. The French floet sent to guard the treasure ships consisted of twenty-three ships of the line Kuoowing that the treasure was on its way to Cadiz 1218 Farnham 8t..

Cadiz claim ed the exclusive privilege, undor a rant from the king, to handlg all royal {roasures from sbroad, and the assertion of this night vented the landing, with t tion of about §7,000,000, 0 landod and taken away on tho 500 horsee. By thia timo 1 B glish and Dutch, with their imwmense floct and a shore aimy of twenty thousand men, were upon them, and on the 21st of October the attack was mado, When the soldiers were landed the Spaniards bogan to burn the pal- leons to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy. In the moan- time the Anglo-Dutch floot had forced their way Into tho mner bay, and had won what is known in history as tho “Victory of Vigo.” They ecaptured nine of the galleons, four of which went to the Eoglish end five to the Dutch, Of the latter two woro lost through fire, Thus weixteen of the treasure-laden galleons were sunk in Vigo bay, where thoir grim skolotons probably exist to-day. Col. Gowen says that he has thor- oughly explored the Bay of Vigo, aud hes located fourteen of these vessels, He 15 convinced that nothing hae been done todisturb the treasuros, although numerous attempts havo been m‘\\‘f;- and’ that countless milltons of specie lio at the bottom of the bay awaiting the coming of their liberator.

In 1825 Dixon, an onterphising Fnglishman, tried to raise the treasure by means of the diving- bell but failed. In 1856 another Euglishman located two of the galleons, but ran out of funds, d ceased his explorations. In 1869 this gentleman applied to Col. Gowen to aid him in recovering the trensure, and the latter made the ex- amination heretofore referred to. Subscquently an English company was formed and the necessary capital sub- scribed and paid, but as there was trouble about the concession fcom the Spanish government tho money was Col. Gowen, it is believed, has now smoothed over the question of conces- sion, and is resolved to undertake the rescuo of the long sunken treasure. If pluck, persistency and readiness in expedients will do it, he is the man to succeed. But thero are other treas- ure seekers who say that the Vigo bo- nanza was exhausted half a century ago. Col. Gowen is confident, how- ever, that the treasure is still lhew and is ready to embark in the effort to obtain it. 1 cratch, druggist, Ruthven, Ont., have the greatest confidence in )hmm ](lll}l.* In one Shele tuioosta w ludy told me that half a bottle d more good than hund eds of dollars’ worth of medicine she had previonsly taken,” Price 81.00. her .
