THE PRELIMINARIES, The owners of the La Seyne decided to abandon the vessel, and li appeared therefore that nothing would ever be seen of her again, But after a considerable interval of time, Mr, Habib's pepbar endeavoured to arrange a search for the missing valuables which were in his uncle's care, and we believe that a Greek diver and a Dutch diver attempted the work, but falled. Mr. Habib then looked around Singapore and consultad Messrs. Coode, Son, and Matthews who agreed to give Mr. Milne leave to make the attempt as a private enter
prise. Mr. Milne agreed, and asked me of the firm's divers, Csatllie, to accompany him. Castilio pluckily assented' and promised to follow Mr. Mline wherever he should go on the ship-a promen which be subsequently carried out to the letter. The attempt could not he made without a licence from the Dutch colonial Government, and unless in the presence of a Dutch Government official, as the wreck is in Dutch territorial waters.
