'''ROMANTIC QUEST INTERESTS SIR A. CONAN DOYLE.'''

Doubloons, pieces of eight, rubies, diamonds, and pearls worth a million lie in the rotting planks of the ship Grosvenor, lost in 1782 off Port St. John on the Kaffir coast. [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] is interesting himself in the scheme of a Johannesburg syndicate for salving the treasure.

<span class="q">"I have written to the syndicate asking certain questions with regard to the method by which they hope to salve the treasure,"</span> said [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur]] to a "[[Daily Express]]" representative yesterday. <span class="q">"If the answers are satisfactory — and I am an old sea-going man myself, having been a ship's surgeon, with knowledge of such matters — I may take up one thousand shares. I certainly believe the treasure is worth a million."</span>

Whether treasure so long lost is recoverable is doubted by salvage experts.

"All search for sunken cargo is speculative, and all questing for sunken treasure a dream," said an authority.
