SUNKEN WRECKS
DIVERS MAY RECOVER LOST TREASURE SUCCESS ON LINER EGYPT LONDON, Wednesday. The successful discovery of the liner Egypt has led to a belief that other searches may succeed. For instance, it is estimated that £ 10,000,000 has lain in Navarino Bay for 100 years. The tests of the Peress diving suit were so promising that it will be used for a renewed endeavour at Navarino Bay. The inventor is already testing the suit at Loch Ness, Scotland, at a depth of 135 fathoms, and believes he will reach 250 fathoms and still be able to move all the antennae very easily. The liners Persia and Arabia, which were sunk by submarines in the Mediterranean in the war, with more than £1,000,000 on* hoard, and three Spanish galleons, bullion laden, which sank in Virgo Bay, may also be brought within the possibility of recovery.
