Oil Arkona, at the northern extremity of the Baltic island of Eucgen, deep sea fishermen have discovered on the sea bottom the remains of a large medieval warship, with many of her old guns still on board. With difficulty they salved two of the primitive cannon. From the workmanship it is thought that the vessel was a Danish warship, contemporary with the pirate Hans Stoeriebeelcer, who wa3 hanged in Lubeck market square in the year 1433. The diver who brought up the gu&s. maintains that near the ship ho saw dimly tho remains of immense walls. This has started the
theory that the site has been discovered of the long-lost city of Yine'ta, which was swallowed up by the Baltic 825 years ago, about the time when tho North Sea engulfed the Isle of Lomea and formed the Goodwin Sands.
