In the light of information obtained. the theory
is advanced that the craft came to grief close
In shore through the explosion OF her naphtha
tanks.
Additional light Is thrown on the movements
of the launch after she left the MISSISSIPPI
River by Captain Nielsen. OF the steamer
Georgia plying between Biloxi and Ship Island.
The captain gives a description OF n launch ne
passed on January talying with the missing
craft. Nielsen states that she was built or dark
wood probably mahogany. and was larger than
other launches he had seen. She was halfway
from Ship Island TO the mainland. and heading
toward Grants Pass This is the regular route
taken by pleasure craft.
There was cheering report brought In by
the tug Leo this afternoon Of launch seen ff-
teen miles south Of Horn Island, but later re-
ports declare that the Leo's find was Albert
Baldwin's launch. from Pearl River to New
Orleans. Hundreds OF small boats. steam and
sail. have given voluntary assistance to those
chartered by Messrs. Jones. YOakum and Tag

and island coast has been looked over In vain.
There is still n lingering hope that the Jones
may be stuck on mudbank in some out-of-the-
place.
