Mr Leigh, the diver of the latest unsuccessful expepition to recover the Elingamite treasure, says he tound the wreck in 95 feet oi water. He made five descents. Very little is left of thf unfortunate steamer beyond the fragments of the main body, resting on a rocky bottom between the two ledges of rock on which the steamer settled. The vessel is now completely shattered, “ and,’* said Mr Leigh, “ if she had been burst up with explosives she would not have been a greater wreck.” At this point the action of the sea is very powerful, and there is a tremendous backwash, which has had the effect of breaking up all except the most solid portions of the hull and machinery. “ All trace ot the treasure has disappeared " says the diver. The coins were in wooden boxes, enclosed in an iron tank or strongroom. This was situated on the starboard side, where it could catch the full force of the sea. I located the spot where the ank had been, but the tank, as well as he coins, have entirely disappeared. 1 made a careful search amongst the wreckage, hut I was unable to discover even a single coin to hang on my watch-chain, The treasure, which is worth more than £17,000, has evidently been swept down the shelving ■•ock into deep water, where it will remain scattered for all time."
