SUNKEN TREASURE
A hundred yards off shore, in Now York harbour, rests a fortune. The British frigate Hussar left New York hastily in 1780, when soldiers stormed the city. In the ship's strongbox was gold amounting to Ioyu,UUU, To-day it would be worth many times that figure. The ship was caught in a freak storm and sank with all hands and its fortune in gold. . Numerous attempts to retrieve the lost gold have failed because of the heavy tide. Anyone is privileged to attempt recovery of the fortune in gold, providing permission is first obtained from the L.S.A. Government.
