STILL CONVINCED SHIP
ISLANDER HAS GOLD
(By The Associated Press)
JUNEAU, Aug. 15, The ovyners
of the salvage operation decided
to go back into deep water for
thd -bow of the steamer Islander,
Which was badly damaged in the
accident which resulted in her
sinking, in the hope that it con
tains the money vaults which they
seek.
*
In the old hulk of the gold
ship they found the bones of
about seventv-two men who per
ished, but not the amount of gold
which they had hoped for. The
new theory is that the bow con
tained the purser’s vault. It Is
now located In about one hun
dred and ninety feet of water.
The bow was badly gashed when
the ship struck and while the hulk
was cradled between the salvage
ships, It dropped off.
