day morning parties have been dragging
Camden harbor for the body of Thomas W.

out avail. Ralph Currier, the young man
with him, cannot tell very near the locality
where the boat capsized, making the search
uncertain. There has been talk of arresting
Currier, but it will not be done at present,
hoping to find the body soon. 1t is really an
unheard-of thing to go out pleasure rowing
between II and 1 o'clock at midnight Cur
rer, however, is doing all he can to help find
the body, for which reward has been Of
fered.
