MEMORABLE TREASURE-
SHIP-LOSSES.
There is always something romantic and fascinating about the treasure, recovery of buried whether it be hidden in the valleys of some remote tropical island or sunk in a wreck that lies at the bottom of the sea, says the Journal of Commerce. The report that cer tain Swedish salvors are shortly to attempt to recover the specie from the steamer "Egypt," which sank in 60 fathums after collision with a French steamer off Ushant a few
months ago, has aroused a good deal of public interest. Whether the efforts of the salvors will be
successful or not remains to be- scen, but the prizes is a templing one, and the reward would be commensurate.

One London daily paper has stated that the sinking of the gold in the "Egypt" was the greatest single loss ever borne by Lloyd's- greater than the loss borne in the case of the "Titanic." Disastrous though the loss of the "Egypt" was to underwriters, it cannot claim to be a record.
