J J coast, used to pass his evenings at an inn frequented by fishermen, one of whom, repeating a tradition which had long existed in the district, told the diver that one of the vessels of the Spanish Armada had been wrecked not far from the coast, and intimated his willingness to point out the spot. The diver, having finished the job upon which he was engaged, made terms with the fisherman and they were both out for many weeks dragging the spot indicated for traces of the wreck. They were at last rewarded by coming upon obstructions with their grapnels. The diver brought out his diving apparatus, descended to what proved to be the remains of an old Spanish vessel, and on making search came across a large number of dollars which had originally been packed in small barrels ; the wood, however, had rotted away and left the coins stacked in barrel shape. With the proceeds the diver built himself a row of houses, which he called “ Dollar Row.” Caught by a Diver when working under water at Durban, Natal. Copyright. Photo No. 106. O 00
