CAPT. CRAPO DROWNED.
His FraiI Craft Boat Capsizsd Off
QuOnOChontaug Beach.
Her Owner Started on a FooI-hardy Trip 10
Cuba From This City April Is.

Capt. Thomas Crapo OF New Bedford,
who set sail for Cuba in his nine-foot
boat Volunteer. leaving Point street
bridge, this city, shortly before noon
on Tuesday, April %, Is believed to have
perlshed in the gale which prevailed
around Point Judith on Wednesday. AT
s o'colck yesterday morning the life
savers at Quonochontaug Beach saw
the bottom OF a small boat on the sur
face of the water about an eighth of
mile off shore.
An Investigation was at once made.
The craft proved to be the Volunteer.
She was thrown over to one side, and
her mast and sails were disastrously
entangled i'm a fish net. The life savers
searched for the venturesome master of
the wrecked boat, but without success.
The last seen of Capt. Crapo was by the
crew of the Point Judith life saving
station early on Wednesday morning,
when Capt. Church and his men saw
the craft sailing along peacefully OF
the point, headed west. They watched
her until she had passed Devils Beach.
which is about nine miles out TO sea.
T'hen the Volunteer faced from view.
The wind was then blowing a sale from
the northeast.
The boat in which Capt. Crapo start
ed on his perilous trip is a flat-bottom-
ed skiff made of onq-half inch cedar.
she is nine feet long, three feet wide
at the stern, fourteen inches deep, and
weighs about 100 pounds. With the
exception of an opening two feet in di-
ameter inthe center she is completely
lecked over with carefully prepared
canvas. The man-hole is provided with
an oiled canvas bag-llke apron. which
Is a continuation OF the canvas of the
deck. The apron was provided with
puckering string so that when the ma
.iner got into the boat he could bind
the apron slightly about his waist and
make his little craft watertight.
