On board were the members of "Capt. John D. Craig's Deep-Se-a Diving Expedition in the Caribbean," sponsored by Waldo H. Logan, member of the Adventurers Club of Chicago and alumnus of Beloit college in Wisconsin. The purpose of the expedition was to take underwater pictures of marine life for the Beloit department of biology and the man selected for the job was Capt. John D. Craig, Hollywood's top producer of adventure movies, the man who is to make the movies of the salvaging of the "Lusita-nia- " and the author of "Danger Is My Business." Aerial surveys made in an airplane, furnished by the president of the Republic of Santo Domingo, had located their objective for this trip. It was Silver Shoals reef, a coral island 65 miles from Puerto Plata. The schooner dropped its anchor near the reef. Over the, side went Captain Craig in the Craig-Nodiving dress in which he has made record deep-se- a dives.

Evidently this fleet considered the latter alternative the lesser danger for it proceeded through Mona passage between the islands of Hispaniola (Haiti) and Puerto Rico and headed north for the open waters of the Atlantic. And then the hurricane struck! Before the galleons had a chance to turn tail and head for the safety of the harbor at Puerto Plata, they were being driven north at a terrific speed by the howling wind. Only One Ship Escapes. For the galleons were driven on Silver Shoals reef which tore their wooden bottoms out as though they were paper. One frigate alone escaped and when it went back to Puerto Plata it found there a few survivors of the disaster who had managed to make their way back to that port on a . coral formations of which he would soon be taking movies in color, the first of their kind ever made. As he walked about on the floor of the sea, he saw ahead of him a dark object. For a moment he thought it was a coral "tree." Then as he came nearer its outlines emerged clearly in the soft light. Standing upright on the floor of the ocean, it was thickly encrusted with coral but not so much as to prevent his realizing what it was an ancient cannon! He stretched out his hand to touch it and reached across three centuries! In that moment he was "one with the V' - raft During the next three decades reports of the great wealth that lay somewhere beneath the waters surrounding Silver Shoals began to spread through Europe. Several British expeditions set out to try to recove the treasure but they ended in failure. Then a seafaring man from Maine, named William Phips, while on a voyage to the West Indies, learned from an old Spaniard what purported to be the exact location of the sunken galleons.

Accounts vary as to the value of their cargoes. Estimates range from $17,000,000 to $21,000,000. g The galleons were convoyed by swift frigates, for danger lurked along the sea lanes. If they sailed due east through the Caribbean sea, they might easily become the prey of the fierce buccaneers and pirates who swarmed the Spanish Main. If they sailed north of the West In-- d es and then struck out across tlic Atlantic, there was always the chance that English privateers-me- n of the Drake and Hawkins stripe would swoop down upon slow-sailin- one knows the exact location of all the wrecked galleons. Remember, they were being driven at a terrific rate of speed by the hurricane when they struck Silver Shoals and the other coral islets that dot the water around it. Some of them may have been carried a considerable distance before they sank to the bottom. It would require considerable underwater exploring before the location of all the galleons could be determined, if indeed that is possible after 300 years. For the timbers of most of the ships have long since rotted away and disappeared and the treasure which they bore is probably now so heavily encrusted with coral as to make it 'almost inaccessible. If it could be located, there is no telling how difficult or expensive it would be to blast it loose. Treacherous Currents. Another difficulty is the danger involved in carrying on such operations. Treacherous currents sweep through the coral "forests" which grow on the floor of the ocean there. A diver who goes down is in constant danger of being carried into the intricate mazes of these forests and if that happens, the chances of his ever returning are very slight indeed. He is in danger, too, of injury d coral forfrom the mations which can easily slice through any kind of diving suit, except the un wieldly ones of metal, and which can cut through airlines as though they were cotton threads. And if the diver goes down with only a helmet on and touches one of these sharp projections with his hand, foot or any part of his unprotected body it means that his blood will be dyeing the water. And blood in the water means sharks! Yes, indeed, there are sharks down there! That's why Captain Craig and his divers carry with them compressed air guns with which to shoot steel darts to discourage any inquisitive shark that comes nosing around. So, you see, it wouldn't be such an easy job to try to recover any razor-edge- hl fantastically-beautif- A question that comes to mind at any mention of the "Hispaniola Treasure" is, naturally: "Why haven't more efforts been made to recover that great wealth? One very good reason is that no vaging the "Hispaniola Treasure." In 1686 Phips set out with the royal blessing of James II on his quest for fortune. For several weeks it seemed to be a futile quest. The men who went down in the crude diving bells of that period could find no trace cf the sunken galleons. Then one day two men of Phips crew, Francis Rogers and William while scouting in a rowboat near Silver Shoals happened to see a beautiful sea feather under the water. Believing that their commander would like to have this interesting bit of marine life, they sent down a diver and he came back with his eyes almost bulging from his head. He had been on the deck of one of the sunken galleonshere were some pieces of eight to prove it! Phips' crew made no attempt to get into the holds of the galleons. They were satisfied with what they found on the decks. And that was a treasure indeed! Historians disagree as to the value of the treasure which Phips Co-vel- l, 0 recovered. One places it at pounds sterling (approximately $1,000,000) in gold and silver, exclusive of the value of the jewels also found. Another gives the total amount as 300,000 pounds sterling ($1,500,000) while still an200,-00- other's estimate makes it $3,000,-00- 0. Some of King James greedy councillors advised him to seize the whole cargo for himself. But he refused and was content with allowed him by the the law. That meant between 20,000 and 30,000 pounds sterling or something over $100,000.

($250,-000- Expeditions Fail. During the years that followed many expeditions visited the vicinity of Silver Shoals to try to recover more of the "Hispaniola Treasure" but none of them was as successful as Phips had been. In most cases the treasure-hunter- s spent more money on their expeditions than they realized from the gold and silver which they managed to recover. Because of these repeated failures, interest in the "Hisapinola Treasure" seems to have lagged until the middle of the Nineteenth century when a man named Dreene, who perfected the first successful diving apparatus, visited Silver Shoals. He found the wrecks of the Spanish galleons but he seems to have been more interested in the coral trees he found there than in the Spanish gold at least, his writings are devoted almost exclusively to the coral formations. Interest in this famous story of buried treasure has been revived by the discoveries of the Craig expedition, which included, in addition to the cannon which Captain Craig found standing upright, another one lying on the floor of the sea (as shown in the picture above) and a part of the anchor chain of one of the galleons (also pictured in this article). Incidentally, the flag of the Adventurers club, which has flown over both the North and South poles with Admiral Byrd, as well as being carried into many remote places all over the globe, was taken down under the sea for the first time by Captain Craig who draped it over the old Spanish cannon and took a picture of it there! New Discoveries Possible. By the time this article appears in print, Captain Craig will be leading another expedition to Silver Shoals to take more pictures of the coral growths and other undersea life there. Will he make other discoveries that reveal more details of the thrilling history of the "Hispaniola Treasure?" Will diving equipment and methods of blasting loose the coral growth of centuries, bring to light more "pieces of eight" and other kinds of treasure which went down with the galleons during the fierce slorm that raged there away back in 1642? The answer to those questions is most appropriately given in the historic Spanish phrase: "Quicnsabe?" ("Who knows!") a Doctor First Captain Craig has Just fired a dart from his compressed air gun to frighten away an Inquisitive shark. part of the "Hispaniola Treasure" that happens to remain down there around Silver Shoals. It's difficult enough and dangerous enough, too taking the underwater moving pictures which is the reason for these Craig expeditions. The danger part of it, however, seems to worry Capt. John Craig less than the other. For, as the title of his book indicates, "Danger Is His Business." He has been at it for more than half of the 35 years of his life. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1903, the son of a Scotch engineer who ran away from his home in Scotland at the age of 20, young Craig inherited some of his father's recklessness and wanderlust. Started at 16. His father died when he was 16 and he started to work to help his mother support his four brothers. Then by 'what seemed to be a miracle he was suddenly rich oil was discovered on California lands owned by the Craigs and young Craig set out to see the world. In India, Craig began shooting tigers to oblige the natives and ended by shooting them as a part of his job. A British picture company had sent two men to get wild animal photographs, both cameramen had been put out of action by the tigers, and Craig got their jobs. Back in America Craig again did what many Americans would like to do: he tried to get a job in the movies not as an actor, but as a cameraman. In India he had discovered the original building plans of the Taj Mahal and he wanted to sell a scenario based on the story of that historic monument. To earn money while trying to sell the Taj Mahal story he began his undersea photographyand discovered on the bottom of the ocean the job he wanted to do. Since that time, Hollywood producers have sent him all over the world to get their "thrill shots" for them and some of the greatest of these have been under the water.
