Treasure salvage endures off Donegal coast amid wreck of Laurentic
The Laurentic wreck off Lough Swilly, sunk in 1917 with £8 million in gold and silver, is being salvaged by the Attendant and syndicate. After years of harsh seas, sand shifts, and secrecy, divers recover bullion while banks seek to liquidate liabilities noted in the strongroom. The operation, ongoing through tides and calms, aims to recover notes and money stored in the ship’s vault as part of a larger Western Ireland salvage effort.

Sentry box and bank dynamiting report and odd dances
A trio armed with dynamite occupied a sentry box in front of a bank for three hours before escaping in a motor car. A Montreal bandit robbed two suburban banks of 3500 dollars. A French village dance event reportedly halted as a “death ray” caused dancers to freeze briefly, then recover. Inventor M de Christmas claims future wars could be crippled by a concentrated light beam. The article also recalls a 65 year old wartime song and Father Phillip Corrigan’s ordination anniversary in Brisbane, noting boxing and dancing feats of a priest from Ireland and a golfer named Sol McCabe.
