Thousands of people visited the wreck yester-

yachts to the scene. Many amusing incidents in
connection with the sinking of the Mohawk were
told. One of the men leaped overheard with

From the report made by Captain Collins. the
Starin people say the grounding OF the vessel

they take course almost due east. keeping the
buoy on the starboard side. since il marks the

buoy had been moved about two hundred feet
eastward and thus failed TO indicate the point

ran on a reef in the channel between David.s
Island and Davenports Neck. in the Sound on
Saturday evening. and sank after nine hundred

The workmen failed to find any indication that
anybody had been lost. Three divers who ex-
plored the hull of the steamboat found that her

coal bunkers. and the damage TO the boat viii
