Fabulous Wealth Sunk to the Bottom the Ocean in Shipwrecks. of There wero heaps of gold carried in galleons and like packets years ago. In 1769, say3 the Baltimore" News, a ship of war from Ilio to Lisbon had on board 9,000,000 of crusades m diamonds, and about 100,000 ''crown turnois" in piasters, making in the whole 29,050,000 livres turnois. So ranch for a single ship. In 177i Spanish ship3 from Vera Cruz and Havana arrived with 22,000,000 crowns, exclusive of mer chandise valued roundly at 25,000,000 crowns. Such examples could be multiplied. Of the cargo of an En glish Indiaman in 1771 one item alone a diamond in therongh was valued at 100,000. As a costly shipwreck La Lulino deserves notice. She was of 32 guns, commanded by Capt Skynner, and wont ashore on tho bank of the Fly Island passage tho night ot October 5), loU9. At first she was reputed to have had 600,000 sterling in specie on board. This was afterward con tradicted by a statement that tho wholo amounted to about 110,000 sterling. Tn mom modern rimea tho costli ness of ship wreck is to uo toxvnA n the destruction of the fabric " aiul its cargo rather than in the easuro on board. Tho Royal Charier is the most notable modern instance of the wreck of a "treasurer" ship. It left Aus tralia with 350,000 in it. Of this sum, says Charles Dickens in his capteron this dreadful shipwreck in in the "Uncommercial Traveler," 300,000 worth was recovered at the time of the novelist's visit to tno spot where it had been driven ashore.
