It can j be done?at a cost several times 5 what the gold is worth when you get it- 1 I recall a smooth promoter of j many years ago who sold Glares ; in a company which was going to < extract gold from seawater- It did c not work and he went to jail; but it would be foolish to say that no- } body will ever find a way to recover ( the ocean's gold economically- t TREASURE lost \ Gold in solid chunks coins and , bars is scattered all over the ocean ( floor where treasure ships have , been wrecked. The "Merida," which s sank off the Virginia capes, had $5,000,000 gold in her strongroom, j An expedition with diving equipment has just been fitted out in New York to try to get that gold- , Millions of dollars in gold have been recovered lately from the . wreck of an English ship off the coast of Holland- A deep-sea diving expedition got great quantities , of gold last year out of a wrecked ship lying in deep water off the coast of spain- The "Niagara'' lies 1 on the bottom of Lake Huron with | a million dollars' worth of copper ingots in her hold- The wreck of the 1 "Lusitania" has been located off the Irish Coast, and the effort to re- s cover the gold coin she carried on s her last voyage is about to begin. < There's tangible treasure enough 1 in the sea to set up life for anyone who can recover even a small part i of it- What a chance for adventure!
