It will he remembered that the
steamer Japan, of the Paeifie M*H
C mpauy, was ,J*£rntgL off-Jhe coast
of Chi.ia in December. 1*74. The
see e of the accident was 135 miles
east of Hong Kong and 50 miles
from Swaiow.
Breaker!
the. depth of water where the wreck
sank was iwenlv-lhrec fathoms. Tiie
Japan had on ;l|oard about $350 000,
in spedfe. :t fllnd ‘inider^--iters'&*■ i' :i
Hong Kong immediately gave no
tice of their intention to attempt the
recovery of the coin.
They engaged fbr this undertaking i
Cnpt. Jno. P. Roberts, of New York, j
who formerly commanded the Uu- 1
derwriter in the New York and
Liverpool Packet Line, but lias been
in China for the last fill ecu years, and
larg ly engaged in wrecking enter
prises. A schooner and a email
steamer were bought smd,equipped
with the necessary apparatus, and in
January, 1875, Capt. Roberts began
sweeping the ocean’s bed in search of
the wreck In the month of March
he found one of the paddle-wheels,
but it was not until near the eird 6(
July that he discovered the wreck,

the work was abandoned, ami on the j
morning of that day Capt. Roberts \
believed that the whole, enterprise
would end 1 tln?re, aud anS
her treasure bo allowed to ,un
disturbed forevermore. But ,pn ,hts
'l it irbnm-^fiT the season the diver
managed to push bis band through a
hole in the tank and secured a black
lump resembling a piece of coal.
The lump, on examination, proved
to consist of twenty-four American
trade-dollars, burned and oxidized so
much that they required a great deal
of scouting to reveal their truaebar-
acter. Bnt they were much more '-*“»*■
than $24 ; .they were valuable as an
encouragement to the underwriters
to continue at their work^ »-The
wreckers retired to Hong Kong lor
the fix mouths of the northeast mon
soon, otul resumed operations in the
following spring. Since then there
been no serious obstacle to the pros
ecution of the enterprise, and during
the summers of 1876 and 1877 about
$175,00 of treasure has beeu recov
ered. It is thought that the balance
of tlie money will be secured in 1878.
It is the first wrecking operation ever
conduced iu the open ocean at so
great a depth, ami the instances
wnerc divers have descended so far,
even in still water, arc comparatively
few.
The coin is mostly in good condi
tion, though nearly all of it is black
and heavily oxidized. Some near
the surface of the tank was partially
melted by the heat of the burning
steamer, and many of the boxes are
charred ahd broken. Some of the
dollars are bright as new when
brought to the surface, but they
speedily turn black when exposed to
the air. No attempt has been made
to secure anything except the coin,
but on one occasion a line was passed
around a case of tinned lobsters, by
way of experiment. The lobster was
sweet and fresh as when first put up,
and the Chinese found it good eat
ing. The gilt eagle that ornamented
the stern of the “ Japan * lies on the
dark sand of the bottom, and the
Captain thinks that when bis wot k
on the treasure is ended he will take
this bird iu as a trophy. But he is
now too busy with silver eagles to
take any trouble about a gilded one.
