A mystery has been introduced into the case OF
the two sailors who were drowned a week ago
Saturday I'm the sinking ocean tug Plymouth, on
the south end Of Court-st. Brooklyn. Those men
identified by their employers as Alfred Carl
son. deckhand. and Martin Jacobson. fireman. Yes
terday morning dispatch from Portland. Ne, an
nounced that Alfred Carlson and Martin "Jacobi-
son" returned TO that city last Saturday night and
would not acknowledge that they had been aboard
the Plymouth According 10 the dispatch they
are members OF the OF the revenue cutter
Woodbury.. and had returned to rejoin her They
had overstayed the shore leave granted TO them
while the in New-York.
The Brooklyn police were bewildered when they
read this dispatch There seemed to be nothing
to question about the completeness OF tho identa-
cation OF the men who were drowned.
The Plymouth sank in mysterious manner after
coming out OF drydock. at an early hour week ago
last Saturday morning The bodies OF her fireman
and deckhand were taken from her hold between
and o'clock that same evening They were
taken to the undertaking estahlishment ot Michael
Jacobson and Carlson by their captain, Cnarles
imarsh who SAID he had shippfa then at q F9I, n.
Liberty Dredging Company. at No. III broadway.
Both bodies OF good height. and the faces
were clean shayen They appeared to be sweaes. .a
ran seemed TO be borne out by several letters
that were found in the boat Most OF the letters letters
written in Swedish and signed Minnie Another
was from F. Johnson. Of No. l2s Commercial-st.
Portland.
The bodies were buried in Mount 0livet Ceme-
terry on Wednesday. An agent OF the dredging
company told the undertaken that The Atlantic
Coast Seamans Union would pay the expense or
burial but Leahy says he has not yet been paid
The bodies will probably be exhumed for further
Identification, as II Is possible that for some rea-
son the men may have shipped under the names OF
other men. II is said that one OF the drowned men
bore a striking resemblance 10 a photograph OF
Jacobson that was produced for Identification be-
fore the burial.
The tugboat is now of Staten Island receiving
