1t was at first supposed that the bodies came
from the schooner known to have been wrecked
on August -. hut it is now believed they hoated
in from n wreck which has not before been re-

in the Sound about three miles off Crane Neck
Point which does not seem to have been re-
ported before. 1t lies in such position that I'M
der the prevailing winds bodies from IL would
be likely to float ashore along this section.
It is judged from the thickness of a spar and
sail floating near the wreck that the vessel is
probably three masted schooner of frctu $50

OF water. There was no mark any of the
