A story of a package of diamonds worth £100 ($500) found floating in the North Sea by one of the crew of a British mine sweeper was told in a London police station recently, by a deckhand, Walter Gleeson, who had been arrested while trying to dispose f the gems. At, the police station the deckhand cnfessed that while on a trawler hich was engaged in the hazardous bask of gathering up mines in the Orth Sea he saw a package floating n the water. He go it with a boat- ook and when he opened it he found, inety-eight polished and seventy-five npolished gems. The deckhand at- empted, in company with a friend, to ell the diamonds to a jeweller at ardiff: There was nothing on:. the aekage to indicate the owner or how the diamonds came to bo floating out in the mine strewn waters of the orth Sea.
