LONDON, Sept. 20 —One million pounds in bullion, w’hich has lain burled for more than a century in the watery safe deposit of the Zuyder Zee, may be recovered from the deep within the next few days. Fine weather alone is stated to be the factor upon which this record salvage is de pendent. The British frigate Lutine sank at the entrance of the Zuyder Zee in October, 1799. She had on board $6,085,000 in bul lion and money. The Dutch government claimed the wreck, and granted one-third of the salvage in 1801 ttf bullion fishers. After much discussion and occasional recoveries, the king of the Netherlands ceded half the wreck to Great Britain. About 99,893 pounds was recovered at va rious times. Diver Feels Bullion. For two summers. Captain Gardiner, of the National Salvage association, at the head of a band of gold seekers, has fought upon the salvage ship Lyons the fierce currents that run between the is lands of Vieland and Terschelling. One diver who recently came up from the wreck declared he had found the gold. He said that on the decks of the frigate lie masses of cannon ball and shot, but along her ribs are holes and rents show ing the broken, jagged ends of planks and timber. It was by investigating in one of these crevices that he found the bullion. He had crawled on hands and knees along to the opening and tried to get inside bodily, but the ragged rents threatened his life lines and air tubes. While stretching as far as he colud around the corners of gaping timber, his hand touched something hard and square. He had handled bars of bullion before, and knew the "feel” of them. There was. however, no moving the precious metal, so after a vain attempt the diVer signaled to the men above, who sent down a line, and with this "lie fas tened a buoy to the hold in the side of the Lutine. The fall of the decks has imprisoned the treasure in the strongest chest im aginable, and it wiU require a “pill” of dynamite to take it from the grip of the 15-inch thick beams.
