How the Cullinan Diamond Crossed the Channel.
Th? story of the way in which, the great <ullinan diamond was brought to England from the Continent after being cut. is interesting. Seven detectives—three of them Dutchmen employed by Messrs. Asscher. the firm who cut t.i© stone—surrounded a man who carried a small black handbag. But the handbag was empty. The Cullinan diamond was actually stowed away in the pocket of a man who travelled steerage and spent his time looking listlessly into the sea.
