(At Left.) SALVAGING 138-YEAR-OLD WRECK.—The world’s largest tin dredger, the Karimata, at work off the island of Terschelling, at the entrance to the Zuyder Zee, where in June last she started the task of attempting to bring to the surface treasure from the 138-year-old wreck of the British frigate Lutine. The Karimata is equipped with 130 steel scoops, and with these she is smashing through the wreckage to a great depth. The first find was a Spanish silver coin of the reign of Don Carlos IV, dated 1789, and last week a cable message from Terschelling stated that there had been great, rejoicing on the Karimata when the dredger brought up the first Spanish gold pieces from the wreck.
