SUNKEN LINER
DARING SALVAGE OPERATIONS.
CARGO OF SILVER INGOTS. London, June 2. One of the most daring and romantic salvage operations was begun to-day when Italian tugs buoyed the area whence they hope to recover £230,000 in silver ingots, which were contained in the Peninsular Company's liner Egypt when she sank in the Bay of Biscay in 1922. If successful the divers will attempt to secure £3,000,000 worth of diamonds in the wreck of the Belgian liner Elizabethville sunk near Belle Isle by a German submarine.—United Service.
