The treasure huntor usually re turns homo rich in experience, but poor in this world's goods. Perhaps bettor luck awaits the divers now busily searching for the wreck of tha Florencia, the great ship of the Span ish Armada that is known to have sunk In Tobermory bay after the dis astrous flight around the coast of England. The Florcacla is well worth finding if It be true, as reports says, that she bad something like $40,000, 000 on board, not to speak of a rosplen dent gold crown Intended for the head of the new king after the redoubtable Elizabeth bad been disposed of. So far tb divers have had a reasonablo success. They found a bed of shells nearly fire feet thick, the romalns of marine animals that are supposed to have gathered to the feast of dead Spaniards. As soon as this shell bed had been pierced the workers wore rewarded by what they hope Is a foretaste of tho triumphs to come. They found many Spanish coins welt preserved, a medal of silver bearing an image of Christ, a sword, some pottery and three stone cannon balls. There were curious people in ancient times who dived for a sight of the great ship before the ocean bed swal lowed her. One of them left a story to the effect that he bad seen the gold crown among the wrecked umoers. but inasmuch as be left it where it was probably It was the eyo of faith J rather than of tha flesh that he used, The President's Military Map.
