LOSS OF BULLION.
EXPEDITION TO AUCKLAND ISLES. ' Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Oct. 20. C'apt. N. V. Sorensen, formerly employed as a diver by the Auckland'Harbour Board, and now of this city, proposes, in conjunction with a partner in Dunedin, to fit out an expedition, at the cost of about £IO,OOO to proceed from Dunedin to tho Auckland Islands, to endeavour to recover bullion believed to have been lost in the General Grant, which was wrecked in 1866. Four previous attempts to recover this treasure hare been unsuccessful. Capiain Sorensen believes this is through attempting the work from the seaward side. His idea is to land an expedition ou the leeward side, cut a road across to the wreck, and 'operate by moans of a derrick, erected ou the cliff.
