DEAD CITY.
Antique Creek Galley in Street.
Archaeologists exploring the drowned city, found by a diving fisherman, off the cast coast of Tunis, have made a discovery of great interest.
Sir Denison, Ross, director of the School of Oriental Studios, who was in Tunis last spring, told a newspaper representative that the workers have found that a. Greek galley, heavily laden with treasure, lies across.one.of the streets of the city.

Greek vases have already been brought up from the wreck, and it is anticipated that the galley may be heavily laden with treasure of the kind,
It was customary for treasures of great value to be brought to Africa from Greece, in galleys" Sir Denison Ross explained. "and ASIA the galleys most heavily laden with gold and vases were those, most likely to sink.
