TO SEEK SUNKEN TREASURE

Efforts Made to Recover Millions of Wealth In the Nav- * arlno Bay. London. —A company has just been incorporated in London called the Navarino Bay Salvage company, to recover the treasure in the Bay- of Navarino, on the west coast of Greece, where 63 Turkish and Egyptian ships of war were sunk by the allied Aeets of England, France and Russia, in IM7. Of these 63, 43 have been located and buoyed, and as the water is very clear and no .deeper than 50 feet, it is expected that a rich harvest will be reaped. Many of the ships are knCWn to have gone down with specie and jewels on board, but aside from that the guns and other tblngg which can be recovered without njucb trouble have great value.
