Seeking His Box Of Gold.

Story of Count von Luckner.

Prom Our Own Correspondent.

Papeete, Jan. 15.

THE Count and Countess von Luckner on board their yacht “See Teufel” sailed from Papeete on December 4.

Their intention was to visit Moorea, the Leeward Islands and the atoll Mopiha, where the Count’s war raider “See Ad ler” was wrecked.

A story has been passed about Papeete that the Count confided to some dinner

companions his secret purpose in going

to Mopiha.

It is said that, when the “See Adler” was cast upon the reef of Mopiha in 1917, her strong box, full of gold coin, was brought ashore and buried in a sec ret place known only to the Count and some trusted companions. For 20 years, this treasure has been lying- there awaiting its owner,* who now has come to recover it.
