The Tbeasuebs os' tub Sba. —A. strange tale of the sea comes from the Baltic. Mere than 100 years ago two vessels went to the bottom of the Gulf of Finland, the cargo of which consisted of glittering silver. Two diving companies at Revel have lately begun to explore the submarine regions near Jutsaro, where the yessela sank, and the divers have now really come upon them. But, like the castle in which the Sleeping Beauty lay, the hulls had all been overgrown by a century’s growth of seaweeds and tangle. Now a way has been cut through the wet wall of weeds, but as yet the interior of the vessels has not been explored, as the divers fear that the deck is too rotten to carry them. Of the treasures of silver nothing had so far come to band, but the remains of apples, cucumbers, buckles, coffee-pots, and shoes with pointed toes have been brought to the light of day, together with some well corked bottles, all of which, however, burst as soon as the " air of heaven ” touched them. The second vessel lies further out to sea ; on its deck lies a great heavy stone, which is evidently part of the cargo. As soon as the Gulf of Finland throws off its coat of ice the investigation will be resumed.
