still Going On.

The task OF dragging Moswansicut lake

three young people or the Pentecosts'
Institute. drowned on Saturday. has. W
TO the time OF writing, amounted to Moth
ing.
Early this morning four boats with two
and three men each were out on the lake
taking up the work where II was left OF
last night.
The search this morning was carried
OF the scenes OF yesterdays labors. that
portion OF the lakes bottom having been
pretty we'll gone over yesterday.
Better grapplings were used this morn
ing and more care taken. the boats being
rowed slowly and carefully 10 and fro
on the lake 10 insure every foot being
covered
The failure OF the Attempts 10 raise the
bodies by exploding dynamite cartridges
has convinced the searchers that IL this
plan Is TO prove successful the cartridges
must be exploded by electricity, as the
fuse will not burn under water.
As yesterday the search was made most
arduons by the high wind that blew over
the lake, the boats at times being almost
unable to make headway, while the
waters were kicked up 10 a considerable
extent.
Yesterdays dragging OF the lake re-
suited in nothing. During n greater por-
tion OF the day the wind blew across the
lake with great violence. making the work
dangerous, espeCfHffy IN rnHt p0rtfUH
where the bodies are supposed to be, the
light boats on the lake being III suited for
such rough water
In the neighborhood Of the island many
Jagged rocks stick above the water or
come within few Inches OF the surface.
and TO strike one OF these means an over
turned skin and possibly another tragedy.
SUBMERGED ROCK.
1t is the general impression that 1t was
near this place. and possibly on one OF
the submerged rocks, that the fatality
occurred, but when Il Is considered that
the island is not In clear view OF the
barn from the roof Of which Mr.. Watson
saw the party In the canoe and afterward
saw IL floating empty, IL would appear
that the accident must have taken place
some distance to the south.
Another factor In the location OF the
bodies might be the current, slight as Il
Is. as the water runs towards the trench
through which II riows to the North Scit-
uate woolen mill
Two possible witnesses TO the drowning
were found yesterday. Frank Andrews,
one OF the searchers. stated that on Sat
urday afternoon as he and his boy
were driving past the lake. his attention
was! was called by the boy to some dark OBJ,
1ects In the water. Mr.. Andrews looked
aA
was the rocks the boy saw and dismissed
the subject from his mind
Tho later developments caused Mr.. An
drews to believe that the dark objects
seen by the boy were the three persons
struggling IN the water The objects
were some distance from Rocky Island
Several times yesterday II was thought
that the hooks had grappled one OF the
bodies. as a yielding substance was en-
ccountered; but II II was body it became
disentangled from the hooks.
An attempt was made TO explode dyna-
mite cartridges In the water In the he pcs
extinruisbed each time y by thu be w,tsr ,usr and
AZ became apperant that the cartridges
could not be exploded in this way.
just before dark a platform that had
over TO Rocky Island and a fve-p pound
cartridge placed on Il and exploded a
considerabie commotion was made In the
thrown In all directions, but X the desired
result was obtained the bodies were miss

all about the island failed TO discover
anything beyond some drifting pieces OF
the boat landing.
