SEARCH FOR TREASURE
FAILURE OF EXPEDITION TUB ANITA’S LOST GOLD. LONDON, June 30. The salvage ship Reclaimer, which had been secretly fitted out and sailed from Sunderland to search for more than £1,000,000 in gold, said to have been hidden in hundreds of cheeses on the Dutch steamer Tubantia, which was torpedoed in the North Sea in 1916, has returned to Sunderland, having found neither cheese nor gold. Besides the gold the Tubantia was carrying securities valued at millions of pounds, intended to bolster up German credit in South America. She slipped out of Rotterdam, and was sunk by a German submarine off the Belgian coast.
