The Aliniratfteaud'hef consorts were, sent to the bottom during the war of Spanish succession, and have remained immersed ■in the port of a poverty-stricken nation during the time' of- the Boiirbon occupation. Hardly bad Vi Queen Isabella been driven from the' throne than a Spanish banker long settled in Paris made overtur.-s to the Government at Madrid, and, on conditions of handing over nearly half the treasure in case of success, M. Pereire received permission to look for the sunken ingots. In mid-ocean on the 18th April, the ship Thomas Freeman.' Captain Charles Owen, Avjiick' had let fc. mvr Orleans thirteen, days ■before, was struck by a thMmleibolt, yjluwy made a hole about two feet square on the port side. Soon after the shock, which prostrated all on board, the vessel was. found to be on fire. The boats were got ready for leaving the ship, in case of necessity, but every effort was made to keep down the fire. sAt r midnight the. ship was found to be on fire from all parts, the pitch frying out of tlie seams on deck.
