Last week Merchant-Yachtsman Foote set out for Puerto Vallarta to claim his $25,000 Tira, undecided as to what sort of punishment should be meted out to boys who would swipe a yacht to hunt buried treasure. Some people thought Merchant Foote would exact no greater penalty than making the boys, as crew, sail the Tira back to Santa Cruz. "Gosh," he said wistfully as he departed, "I wish I had been on that trip. . . . I have been used only to cruises around Monterey...

Attorney Lamar Hardy have been trying to net since February (TIME, May 30). The hunt began when an American Army deserter of Austrian parentage, brush-headed Guenther Gustave Rumrich, was arrested in a clumsy attempt to steal passport blanks.
