TWO MEN MISSING

THEIR FATE IS UNCERTAIN
Pleasure Seekers at the Island Having

Arrivals

AVALON, Aug. M.-Missing-in all prob
ability this fateful word may be written
for all time to come against the names OF
J. H, Powell and Joe Powell. The young
men rented a boa from Chris. Ringsen, the
boatman, early Monday morning and were
to be gone untilthat night. The party took
only provisions enough to last them through
one day and. we're going to row down the
coast to Whjre's landing and hunt for goats
during the day. The boat was at the land
ing late in the afternoon Monday and that
was the list seen Of 1t. 1t may be that the
men did lot pull their boat high enough out
Of the water and it got loose and f1oated
away. Or they may have lost themselves In
the mountains and were unable to find their
way Jack to the boat and may now be some
whete in the treacherous hills and canyons.
70. the past two days there has been an un-
usually high swell running and this gives
hse to the idea that the boat may have been
4 washed away. Neither of the men were ex-
perienced boatmen or mountaineers and
the chances are that II they reached the
boat they may have been swamped at sea.
This morning there are three launches out
looking for some trace Of the boat and when
they return at night If they have not Sue
launches here will be sent out to look for
them.
Slight Accident
The Banning company's launch LINDA
went down the coast yesterday to take pro-
visions and supplies to Captain Hancock
Banning, who Is at the Quarries superin-
tending the getting out of some Catalina
serpentine. Mrs. Joe Banning and Mrs.
Hancock Banning went down and returned
with the launch. AS the Linda came up to
the landing stage on her return trip num-
Der Of boys in bathing suits followed their
usual custom Of climbing aboard despite
the warning given. One Of the boys met
with an accident that will confine him to
the house for some time. The little fellow
was climbing aboard and in some way man
aged to get his foot caught between the
float and the boat as she rolled in the sea.
The. pressure caught his heel and bruised
1t badly. The boy, who gave his name as
Robley Robe, was at once taken to DR.. Hoff
and after having hts foot bandaged was
taken to his home nearby.
