 John Miller and George Howell while at work Thursday dredging for clans in Long Island Sound, of Plum Island, saw dark object floating in the water about mile to the eastward of them. They subsequently, found it to be small open cat-rigged sail boat the ''Mattie,' D which was floating bot tom up. She was lowed ashore near Green port and upon being righted ghastly dis covery was made. Fast in the rigging, head down, with his feet entangled in the halyards, was the dead body of man. The rope had become securely fastened around his legs and had to be out off. The body is that of man about thirty years of age, of dark complexion and full face, mustache and side whiskers, medium height and weighing about 150 pounds. The drowned man was dressed in yachting suit, consisting of blue flannel trousers, shoes and blouse. Upon his person was found small hunting case silver watch The watch had stopped at twenty three minutes past eight o'clock There were no bruises or marks of violence upon the body, which had apparently been in the water but day or two. The boat is believed to have been struck by squaI and capsized on the afternoon of the 4th inst, or else to have been run into by passing steamer. It is also feared that others who may have been in the boat were also drowned.
