Der % Captain w. w. Andrews and
bis bride, who was Miss Mary South
row, started from Atlantic City in a
l3-foot dory called the ozark Secret
for Europe. They have not been
heard from since and it is believed

its occupants were drowned.
Captain Andrews, before sailing,
said he would head for the Azores,
where he expected to take in fresh
provisions and water. Then he in
tended to continue the journey to
some port in Spain or Portugal.
Captain Andrews had twice crossed
the Atlantic IN a cockleshell and each
time was spoken by passing vessels.
This time his vessel was not seen. Mrs.
Andrews was an experienced mariner
herself, and unusual precaution had
been taken to make tn" ozark Secret"
a safe craft.
The experience gathered ON Capt.
