Many such relics have been found. In one case a lady&#8217;s bracelet was found in a state of perfect preservation, together with a silver spoon and a thousand Spanish reals in money. The curious feature of the finding of the money was that it was in an official receptacle lost in the city of Spanish Town [Jamaica] during a negro uprising in the seventeenth century. Where had it been in the meantime? Surely not in the shark&#8217;s stomach, unless the shark lives a much longer time [or some of them] than Science has any reason to suppose possible. On the other hand, if in the sea it would have been rendered unrecognizable in a few weeks. Had it been in the possesion of someone shipwrecked, why had it been left intact? The conclusion was inevitable that the shark must have fished it out from a compartment of some long submerged vessel.-Harper&#8217;s Weekly.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Fishermen in the Caribbean sea recently found in the stomach of a shark which they had killed a good sized bottle in which was a half-decipherable letter from a shipwrecked sailor.
