SEARCH FOR GOLD SALVAGING WORK ON THE EGYPT GOOD PROGRESS MADE (United Press Assn.— Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.15 p.m.) London, May 30. Divers aboard the Artiglio have restarted salvaging the Egypt’s bullion. They removed nearly the whole roof of the bullion room and began bringing the contents to the surface. No gold or silver has yet been recovered as the boxes of bullion were covered by broken wood and other debris, but a diver caught the first glimpse of the boxes piled in tiers inside the room. As the bullion room is between the baggage rooms under the first class saloon, the divers’ grab is raising a curious assortment of lost property, including a rusty, broken cashbox containing a dozen mixed coins, a loaded Mauser automatic pistol, a set of golf clubs, a battered silver sauce-boat, and a'pair of grey woollen sox.
