somewhere beneath one of the sev
en seas, the remains of a once
mighty civilization, now buried
under 12,000 years of mud and silt?
Dr. Juergen . Spanuth, ' German
Lutheran pastor and amateur ar
cheologist, is convinced the ghost
continent does exist. He thinks he
has found it under the North Sea,
near the island of Helgoland, about
30 miles off the German North
Sea coast
Cobblestone Evidence
The cobblestone was brought up
a few days ago by a deep sea diver
attached to a well-equipped expe
dition led and financed by the 45-
year-old pastor.! This is his third
attempt to find Atlantis in the North
Sea. Into the effort, he has put all
his savings plus royalties earned
by his book, "Unsolved Atlantis.-
Amonf those who take Plato's
story seriously. Dr. Spanuth is un
usual in that he a concentrating on
the North Sea. Most other beuev
ers are convinced that if the lost
continent is to be found at all it
is under the Atlantic, which was
named after Atlantis.
Plato called it an island larger
than Asia Minor and situated just
beyond the "Pillars ef Hercules,
or Gibraltar. But Dr. Spanuth in
sists Plato shouldn't be taken' too
literally as to location.
He is sure the; red-rocked island
of Helgoland wai once the highest
mountain of a beautiful land. With
a geologist, underwater photo ex
pert and four divers who learned
their trade in the German Navy,
he is concentrating on a shallow
spot six miles from Helgoland.
Flat. Strange Wail
It was here, 30 feet under the
surface, that divers of Dr. Span
uth's second expedition last year
reportedly found a strange wail
encircling an oval area 3,000 feet
long and 1,000 feet across.
Inside the wall, the divers re
ported, were large, irregular piles
of sand. Dr. Spanuth believes these
! . 1 . 1 '-
mue uie ruins oi a jiuge paiace
and temples of the kings of Atlan
tis and probably golden evi
dence of their immense wealth.
While the pastor's interest is more
archeological than financial, he
points out that Plato said the halls
of Atlantis were: "encrusted with
gold and silver." He also recalls
that a Helgolander, fishing in the
area for lobsters,! once brought up
a heavy gold bracelet in his net
Dr. Spanuth has other arguments
as well. He quotes Plato as saying
that after the disaster of Atlantis
only shoals and the "red rocks of
the king's island remained to mark
the spot." Helgoland is full of red
rocks.
He notes, too. that Helgoland is
still called "Atlu"j by people in the
area and says he has a map dat
ing back to the old Germanic Goths
which refers to "Atlantis" in the
North Sea.
PboU Retells Story
In his famed dialogues. Plato said
he got the story of Atlantis from
Solon,, the great Greek lawgiver,
who said he got it from some Egyp
tian, priesU in th NUo Valley. The
priests placed tne demise of Atlan
tis about 9.000 years before, or
about 10.000 B.C. :
The kingdom disappeared, it was
said, in a Gotterdamerung of
earthquake, volcanoes and flood
shortly after the Atlantides lost a
war against several Mediterran
ean nations.
It is a scientific fact that islands
have been known to disappear.
Little Sarah. Ann Island in the mid
Pacific, for example. In the 30s
American scientists went looking
for it in the hope of using it as a
grandstand to watch an eclipse.
The island had vanished. Kraka-

Possible Island Survivor
Li tit Easter Island, about 2,000
miles west of South America, not
long ; ago yielded stone : images
which led scientists to wonder if
this 40-square-mile patch of land
is the lone survivor of a large
island group of continent and an
extinct civilication.
But most of the speculation about
Atlantis has been concentrated on
the Atlantic. . ! i .
In 187S-1576, the United States.
England and Germany conducted
Joint sounding operations of the
Atlantic bottom: to gather data
for laying oceanic cables. This ex
pedition found a huge mountain
chain running north-south along the
Atlantic bottom and following the
general trend of the Spanish and
African coasts.
Known as the mid-Atlantic rise,
it extends with two snort breaks
from Iceland to the latitude of
Cape Horn and is situated about
the middle of the ocean. The Azores
rise up from this subterranean
ridge. Many of those who believe
that Atlantis actually existed be
lieve this is the last visible high
ground of the lost continent. '
Some reputable scientists, accord
ing to the National Geographic
Society, believe that several islands
near the Azores may have disap
peared, perhaps catastrophically,
as recently as the period of man.
Others dismiss the whole notion
as pure fiction.
Lava Found
Shortly before the turn of the
century, a cable-laying ship 500
miles north of the Azores reported
finding particles of volcanic lava
at a depth of two miles. Under
a microscope, it was said, the
lava showed such a vitreous struc
ture as to make one believe it had
solidified, a long time ago, in the
open atmosphere.
Believers of the Atlantis story
are also lond of pointing out that,
though a wide ocean separated
them, the ancient Mayan civiliza
tion of Central America bore simi
larities to the ancient Egyptian civ
ilization of the Nile in relicion.
pyramid building, mural decora
tion and even in some picture writ

that the basques of Northern Spain
may be direct lineal descendants
of the Atlantides. Radallv. th

Dealer Trades
Shaving Mugs
For House
WILKINSBURG, Pa. (P)-Louls
Miller, an auto dealer, is a man
who will trade a house to perpe
tuate his hobby of collecting old
shaving mugs. Miller recently
ended months of negotiating with
an old German barber, near Man
or, Pa. The barber got a house
and Miller five mugs.
The auto dealer said at first
the barber wouldn't have any
thing to do with him because he
thought he was an antique dealer
and be didn't like antique deal
ers. Then, Miller learned from the
barber's son that the elderly man
wanted to build a small house
and didn't have much money. So,
he told the barber's son to come
and get the vacant house on a lot
near his garage. The house was
trucked to Manor and Miller had
the pick of the barber's collec
tion. round them. Their present location
on the Atlantic might have been
a- logical place to receive refu
gees from the Atlantis disaster
"just beyond the gates of Her
cules." Assuming, of course, that there
were refugees, a disaster and a
place called Atlantis to begin with.
