FOUND DEAD.-The bodies of Ethan
Allen and Seward Vantine, the Grand Isle
men who were supposed to have been
drowned in attempting to cross from
PlaitSburgh, on Wednesday, December
4th, and for whom rigid search has since
been made, We're discovered on Friday.
in the boat, which had been grounded in
little bay in Laws Island about half a
mile northwest of Colchester Point. The
men had evidently persisted of cold apd
exposure.
The bodies were discovered by Mr.. But
ton on Friday, December 18th, on the
north side of what is commonly known as
Ben Laws island. They were in the bow
of the boat, frozen stiff and covered with
ice; and the bottom of the craft was stove
in and the gunwale broken. Nothing was
in the boat-a good-szed skiff-save the
bodies, though when it left Plattsburgh on
that fatal night it was laden with several
hundred feet of lumber and considerable
other freight. Evidently the boat had
capsized in the dreadful storm that ragged
va VIC niShl Ill question, anu Tie men had
been able to regain it, only to die of cold
and exposure. The wind and waves
drilted the helpless boat with its awful
freight-men dying of cold in the dark
ness and storm-to the shore of the island;
but when the day broke they had another
morn than ours" The horrors of such a
death language is inadequate to describe.
OF all the tragedies of which the lake has
been the occasion and the witness, none
have been so complete in all the elements
of horror as this.
The bodies were taken to North Hero
on Saturday by II. l.. Melaney. Walter
Button and W. B. Macrae, one of the Sc
lectmen of Colchester.
