THE TREASURE SEEKERS
A WRIT OF ATTACHMENT. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, Last Night. A number of people assembled at Port Chalmers this afternoon in expectation of seeing the steamer Wairoa start on her voyage to the Auckland Islands in search of the treasure supposed to be lying in the wreck of the ship General Grant. The unexpected happened, however, and it gradually became known that a writ of attachment had been issued by the Vice-Admiralty Court, restraining the vessel from sailing, pending a settlement of claims against her. The writ was issued at the instance of Messrs. Stevenson and Cook, Port Chalmmers, and it is understood that the amount involved is about £4OO. The managing owner had left for the Bluff, and it was impossible to get into communication with him to-day.
