Hunting for Spanish treasure in the sunken Armada galleon at Tobermory, the divers have found the almost complete skeleton of a boy of about 14 years of and a man's jawbone in which are set three perfectly-shaped teeth. Large quantities of African oak, cannon balls of stone and iron,, broken pottery and wine flagons, enmieted cutlasses, daggers, swords, and muskets, lead, and copper have also been recovered. Metal plates, showing the same embossments as on the specimens discovered last May, have been found in comparative abundance. Among the more peculiar finds are several feet of copper wire cable, a graduated brass bar (supposed to be a tangent used for sighting purposes on a big gun), and a hollow shell containing a remarkably light and soft metal. „_ ; •..,.
