Mr Sidney Field, Costa Rican Consul, states that he has received a message from the Curator of the Costa Rica National Museum that an expedition to Cocos Island located the sixty million dollars “loot of Lima,” for which Sir Malcolm Campbell vainly sought. The expedition was organised by the California Society for Archaeological Investigations and sailed in November in the schooner Spindrift.
