HERMIT DIES AFTER 15-YEAR QUEST
SECRET OF £200M.
HOARD UNSOLVED
FROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
MELBOURNE — The 71-year-old hermit of Screw Creek, Inverloch
(a holiday resort 95 miles from Melbourne), died last week.
He was Donald Nicholson, who
the week before he died told me by tele
phone that he would ring within a
month — as soon as he had uncovered a
£200 million treasure.
'It's just as good as found,' he said
— but he had been searching for it for 15
years.
Next day he left his
camp for good — he came
to Melbourne and next
day died after a stroke.
He was just waiting for
members of his latest syn-
dicate to patch up a quar
rel before accepting their
offer to unearth the
treasure.
Nicholson told me that a
miner, Mr. William Bur
gess, leader of the syndi
cate, said he found "definite
evidence" of something long
and metallic buried beneath
Savage's Hill.
Burgess had said that
with an American radio
scope he had detected
what could be an under-
ground vault.
The hermit said his
grandfather built the vault
about 1900.
Stopped blast
In 1940 the army was
called into the search.
Twelve army men had
prepared to blow away the
face of Savage's Hill, but
minutes before they were
to set off the charge
orders were sent to stop.
A vault with an armed
guard had been prepared at
the Commonwealth Bank,
Melbourne, to take the
treasure.
I asked Nicholson: "Why
didn't they blow it?'
He said they were afraid
of damaging the valuable
papers in the vault.
They were not just ordin
ary papers. One was Aus
tralia's charter from Eng
land. The other was a for
mula from Solomon's
temple for the Nicholson
clan, dealing with cosmic
light and energy.
'Would never tell'
Rumours have swept In
verloch through the years
that the hermit had found
gold, oil, and uranium.
'There's oil here, but I'm
not worrying about it,' .he
told me.
Asked why his grandfather
did not pass on the location
of the treasure, which grew
from 10,000 sovereigns to
£200 million, the old man
explained:
'I was a lay preacher,
but when I changed my
faith my father disowned
me, and declared that he
would never tell where the
treasure was buried.
'I learned the folly of my
ways. Father relented, but
on his way from Western
Australia he dropped dead.'
His son never learned the
secret.
