Show Marines Doubt Treasure Legend. If there is any hidden treasure lying on the bottom of the ocean near Paris island, and legend says there is, United States marine searchers have given up hopes of finding it. Bell divers of the marine corps are operating off the coast of the island in an attempt to salvage boxes, metal nnd odds and ends of cargoes lit overboard from the vessels. This is a side line for the marines, whe so far have been satisfied with patrolling the land, sea and air, and have never gone in for deep-sea diving. Negro residents of this vicinity have faith in an old-time myth that there is hidden treasure on or near the island, is-land, supposed to have been left by Ten u La Fitte, the pirate, on one of his coastwise wanderings. |
