PROSPECTS OF FALVAGE.
Prospects for the speedy recovery of at least a large part of the wealth which bas lain,at the bottom of the Irish Sea since that fated afternoon in May, 1915, when torpedoes from a German, submarine sank the Flant Cunard liner "Lusitanis,” are moster- couraglog
For some weeks past expert divers. bave been prospecting the position of the sunken' steamship, and their report is se favourable that it is plan ned to undertake at once the recovery of the valuable cargo, the passengers' baggage, the bodies of scores of victims who went down with the ship, and all the rich treasure that is locked in the purser's strong rooms. Very soon now the news may be expected that men are actually hunting through the silent staterooms, opening' the purser's safes and examining the huge heaps of water soaked baggage. and mail
For the present at least no at- tempt.. will be made to raise the vessel itself. As to whether this is possible experts are not" BS yet agreed. Some maintain that the "Lusitania" can never be brought to the surface owing to the great depth of water in which she is resting. If, however, the efforts to salvage the steamer's contents are as success- ful as is now anticipated, it is pro- bable that an attempt to raise the boat itself will be made before the close of the present year.
Although the "Lusitania" carried / only a comparatively small cargo of freight, it carried so many valuables in the shape of personal property of passengers that its shattered bulk undoubtedly contains one of the richest heaps of treasure to be found. in the ocean's depths.
As everybody remembers, the "Lusitania” had an unusually large passenger list on the voyage that ended in its destruction. Included in the ' list were Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and more than forty other men and women whose fortunes werę rated in the millions of dollars.
Owing to the exigencies of the war, many of these, as well as many of the other passengers, carried with them large quantities of valuables which they would otherwise have entrusted to the mails or express,
Mme" Antoine Depage, for example, wife of the medical director of the Belgien Red Cross, and one of the victims of the disaster, was making the trip to Europe to, carry to her native land $100,000 in gold which she and her husband had helped. raise in this country for relief work. This little fortune, with other valuables which filled the purser's strong rooms to overflowing, went to the bottom when the German torpedoes tore gaping holes in the licer's sides.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, another victim, is said to have entrusted to the purser's care when the voyage began, money, jewellery and securities wurth in the vicinity of $65,000." Charles Frohman, the theatrical manager; Elbert Hubbard, the famous writer, and Charles Frederick Fowles, the millionaire New York art dealer, are some of the numerous others who had entrusted to the ship's strong rooms quantities of property too valuable to be kept in their staterooms or carried about on their persons..
From all this it can be seen that the pursur's strong rooms alone furnish a rich prize for the divers who are soon to brave the gruesome interior of the sunken Ener. It has been said that their contents are worth $1,000,000, and to those who know the distinguished character of the ship's passenger list, this seems peems like a conservative estimate.
But this is not all. There are the trunks and travelling bags of the passengers-thousands of them-and many of them filled with the most expensive clothing and jewellery. Besides all this, there is the small but rich cargo of express freight carried-a which the "Lusitania' cargo which was appraised at the time the liner sailed at $750,000.
