TREASURE TROVE
PARCEL OP DIAMONDS FOUND.
LOST IN DESTROYED DUTCH PLANE.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) PERTH, May 3.
Diamonds worth £300,000, which were lost when Japanese raiders shot down a Dutch plane, have been found by a beachcomber near Broome.
The plane, which was one of the last to leave Java, carried a parcel of jewels addressed to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. After the plane was shot down the crow searched for the parcel without avail, but the beachcomber later found it embedded in tidal mud. The parcel would have fallen to pieces in the next tide, and the diamonds probably lost forever in the mud.
