GIRL DEEP SEA DIVER
SEEKS SPANISH TREASURE
London. Oct. 2.—(By Mail)_
The profession of deep sea diving,
which anyone would classify ss a call
ing particularly fitted for men, has
been successfully invaded by woman.
Mararet Naylor, an English girl, is
acclaimed as one of the most efficient
and daring wearers of the helmet in
British waters.
She has gained a wide reputation
during the last two years, and more
recently for her efforts in the re
covery of treasure from the sunken
Spanish galleon lying in ten fathoms
of water near the shore of Mull, an
island off Scotland. There in the
cozy little harbor of Tobermory, snd
less than a hundred yards from the,
beach, lies one of the great treasure
ships of the Spanish Armada. The
boat was one of the many vessels
launched by the ambitious FbiUip,
in 1588, for his attempted conquest
of England.
So certain this monarch that
he would add ths British Isles to
his already large domains, that he
actually sent on his Jewelled regalia
in advance. It is believed today that
the richly bejewelled crown is lying
somewhere in the sixty feet of water
among the wreckage of the Ad.
mirante de Florencia, which Miss
Naylor has succeeded in negotiating.
Although the task presents many
problems which would cause anxiety
divers of the stronger sex. Miss
Naylor shows no fear. She had had
one or two narrow escapes from
death in the course of her experience,
without being In any way deterred
from tackling the risky business
again.
Miss Naylor recently made n trip
to tho southern const of England and
obtained some excellent specimen:
of undersea plant life. She nearly
lost her life when her feet becamt
entangled in a ladder which she wai
using, and only her presence ol
mind enabled her to free herself amJ
