GENERAL GRANT'S TREASURE.
EXPEDITION'S MISFORTUNES. [BY. TELEGRAPH.—-PRESS ASSOCIATION."] Dunedin, Sunday. The present position of the treasure-seek-ing party, it is said, is that Mr. May hae gone to Sydney to see if he can secure the necessary funds to release the Wairoa, and carry out the project. Yesterday there ■was a meeting of 15 or 16 shareholders. Nothing definite was determined upon, but there was a feeling that something might bo done in the way of reconstructing the company, eo that the venture might be carried through. It was decided to interview Messrs. Stevenson and Cook, with a view to seeing whether arrangements could bo made for the release of the boat. Extreme disappointment is felt at,having the venture blocked at this stage before its possibilities have been tried, and a portion of the crew have expressed their willingness to accompany tho vessel on tribute, and. chance what reward thoy would get from the proceeds.
