 OCEAN GROVE, N. J. Aug. 19.-By tn, overturning of pleasure boat an entire family were drowned, and two other fam lilies are in mourning. A party of farmers from the neighborhood of Frankford and Selbyville, Del, had fish fry on Grey's creek, branch of the Isle of Wight bay, with bathing, fishing and amusements
 William Hudson carried party of nine out sailing and as the boat was about tc come back the women of the party jumped, screaming on the high side, capsizing the little craft, which was hardly large enough to carry five persons. The following seven were drowned:
 William Storr, aged 45 years Ptiladel. phia; Laura Storr, his wife, aged 35, and his daughters, Ida May, aged 16, and Eva, aged IA; Myrtle Stevens, aged 16, of Sel, byville; Lima Hall, aged 19, and her sis. ter, Lulu Hall, aged 14, whose homes were near Frankford. >
 The capsizing occurred within 200 yards of the shore and in water seven feet deep. MT. Storr had only one hand and was blind in one eye, but was an expert swim mer. He succeeded in getting his two daughters on the bottom of the boat and was getting his wife when the girls be- came scared slipped off of the boat and went to their parents, and together, the four perished.
 Bodies Mutilated by Crabs.
 Hudson, who was sailing the boat, got the two Hall girls on the boat, and was trying to save Miss Stevens, when they slipped off and were drowned before he could get to them. Two other young la- dies who were in the boat were rescued by 3 fisherman, who put off from the shore as the boat capsized. MT. Storr was found shortly after his family, and Miss Stevens body was found by hauling seine Large parties arc searching for the bodies of the other two.
 Tho Storrs family Fesided at 1919 Lan- easter avenue, Philadelphia. MT. Storrs was married in this neighhorhood, and yearly he brought his family down for a two weeks' outing. They were very fond of aquatic sports and spent most of their time boating and fishing.
 Hudson, the skipper, protested to Mr. Storrs against the party crotyding into his small boat, which could only carry com fortably four persons. Storrs answered.: "Oh, there is no danger. The water is shallow. We are close to shore, and the wind is light
 The bodies, when recovered by the search ing parties, presented a horrible sight, par ticularly that of Mrs. Storrs. Crabs had eaten tho flesh from her face, exposing her teeth and even the roots of her tongue Tho ends of the fingers of all had been eaten away and their eyes had disappeared.
 Before entering the boat Mrs. Storrs took her husbands gold watch, over S20O in money and their rings and other valua- bles and tied them in her apron. She was tightly clGtching the bundle in death.
