WASHED UP BY SEA
Terrific seas are washing up oil gold at Portland, Dorset, and in Chesi1 Cove, where the throwing-up of thi shingle has exposed the blue clay underneath, beachcombers and many un employed are having some curious finds, reported a London paper recently. These discoveries include gold and silver coins washed up, it is believed! from Spanish .galleons sunk of! Portland at the ■ time of the Armada. One coin bears the head of King Emanuel of Portugal; of the early sixteenth century. ■ A-search is now going on for what are called "old ducky stones"—small ingots of-silver —and old Spanish treasure chests. - -
