Dutch Treasure Sought After 3 Centuries Six Parties Search Western Australia For Dutch Treasure By MALCOLM UREN 7 . (Written £or United Press) PERTH, Australia, UP — Six separate parties are now searching in the province of Western Australia for a treasure of 78,600 guilders (perhaps now worth about $300,000) that was carried by a Dutch ship los<t in 1656 while outward bound to the East Indies. History relates when the ship

was lost and how, but not precisely whore. ; \ From the evidence? available the organizer of each the six searching parties has formed his theory of where the treasure will be found and has led bls party there. Someone must fye. wrong, because the field of search ex-, lends over about 170 m|les —from abou( 150 miles north pl Perth to 2C miles to the -. There is no doubt > about the existence of the A translation from authentic manuscript copies of the log-bopkp in Royal Archives at The iiague says the ship Der Vergulifc Draeck (The Gilt Dragon) on Oct. 4, f 655, for the Dutch East Indies “with a rich including 78.600 guilders in cawb in eight boxes.” Jg /Survivors Reported Loss She was wrecked AprU' 28, 1656,' on the coast of Western Australia' "on a reef stretching dpt to sea about a mile and a half, latitude 30% degrees.” News oflfhe wreck was carried to Patavia’4>y survivors in one of the small ..tyoats from The Gilt Dragon. ' These men reported that they and 68 others got from the wreck, but "nothing Mfas saved from the ship which woundcred and sank at once; except a small quantity of provisions gashed on shore by the waves.” 7 Relief ships were sent to pick up the castaways. Intensive search along they coast in the latitude given d/sclo<ed neither wreck nor survivors®: Some years later, crew of the ship Waeckende in a position given at degrees 19 minutes, found “a pieces of the mast of The Gilt Dragohi . t \ the round top and other titling objects.” Presumably theji saw no 4,- _ ; g-. . .

sign of the actual wreck but only some wreckage that might have floated some distance. From contemporary accounts, therefore, we cgn be sure that there was treasure and it wap not recovered. For years the story seems to have slumbered, but towards the end of the last century two events revived interest in the treasure. Dutch coins dated 1618 and 1648 were found in a cave in the vicinity of the River and a surveyor .named Alfred E. Burt discovered a' circle of stones, which, he said, was a pointer to the locality where the Gilt Dragon’s treasure was buriedNew Interest Aroused Burt was j more enthusiastic than logical. Similar circles of stones—probably they are part of some native rite—exist all ©yer Western Australia, but Burt’s as-: sedation of the stones with the treasure caused immediate excitement. Search parties went out and closely examined the ayea around the circle of stones. They found several other circles of stones but no treasure. The current searching has resulted largely because an ex-sol-di.er decided modern ‘ scientific methods of mineral detection would make the search easien He purchased a mine detector and made a solo attempt to locate the treasure north of Perth. Then an obviously man-made stone figure in the rough form of a Crusader yvitb crossed feed was uncovered by a dairy farmer south of Fyemantle, near Perth. This, be decided, must have been made by castaways from the Gilt P r ** gon and under it would be the treasure. For two summers now—he cannot work ;in the winter because

the water rises too high—he has excavated in the vicinity and has not yet given up hope. University students studied the evidence and began spending their vacations searching for the treasure. At least two of the bix parties now ip the field have scientific equipment for the detection of minerals.
