The report that Melvin ELS and his
family of Ellsworth, are probably
drowned. seems to lack foundation.
Ellis left Ellsworth two weeks ago
not four as reported-in schooner
rugged lobster boat, 80 feet long. H
took his Wife aud five children and his
household goods. which We're not
abundant. His destination was Rock
land ELS was seaman and his boat
was seaworthy. There have been ita
gales since he left here. but there has
been much fog TO delay him Even il
he arrived in Rockland Ellis has no
relatives or friends in this city to
whom he would write. The report that
his boat had been seen bottom up in
the bay lacks confirmation
