9.20 Mr. CLIFFORD W. COLLINSON :
' Buried Treasures of the World ’—I
THE child in each one of us (unless we are exceptionally unlucky) never anite dies ; and so long as the least trace of childhood remains in us we shall continue to be interested in the idea of buried treasure. How keen is the general interest, in fact, was plainly demonstrated by the hundreds of letters that poured into the B.B.C. as a result of Dr. Thomas Gann 's recent talk on his adventures with the British Museum expedition to Central America. Comparatively few of us, however, are able to give rein to our wishes in this matter, which is probably as well. The present talk, which is - introductory to a series, is intended to pave the way for some descriptive story-telling by men who have gone on such expeditions after buried treasure. Some of the contributors to this ' Treasure Island ' causerie include Malcolm Campbell on Cocos Island, Paul Edmonds on the Tobermory Galleon, Granville Squiers on the adventures of Captain Kidd, and Clifford Collinson himself on Ladrone Island.
