A Ray of Hope.

1t will be remembered 10y people OF
the upper Sound that two young men,
Paul Bates. student OF NashOn Col
lcge. and Carl Chclccn, sailor, were
thought to have been drowned on the
night of last Thanksgiving, while
crossing in a small boat from Burton
To- Tacoma.
They left Burton in the evening,
November 9th. and nothing has been
seen or heard Of them since. They
should have made the passage across
the Sound in couple of hours, hut a
fierce gale set in that night, with in
tenscly cold weather, and the common
verdict was that the frail craft toun-
dered in midday, and that the two oc-
cupants were, of course, carried to the
bottom with the boat, which had q
heavy ballasting of pig-iron.
1t now turns out that the Danish
ship Jupiter loaded at the Tacoma
lumber mills and sailed for England
the next day after the boys were
missed; furthermore, it comes to light
that, on the eve of sailing the captain
of the Jupiter wanted five men to
complete his crew; three of these he
is known to have obtained, and now
those who would grasp ut straws of
hope are conjecturing that the young
men, Bates and Cheleen, may have
shipped of their own accord, or were
forcibly taken on board the Jupiter to
fill out her compliment of men. Ru-
NOR has it that while the ship was
loading, Cheleen was offered the posi-
ton of second mate by her Captain,
and SO it is thought, possibly, that he
shipped at the last moment and per-
suaded Bates to accompany him.
The Jupiter is reported to have ar.
rived at her destination in England
on the 4th of the present month, after
a voyage of 1876 days. Mr.. Ansel
Bates, father of the missing Paul, a
well known citizen of Tacoma, is TAX

lem, whose denocument will be of so
much interest to himself and wife.
