NO HOPES FOR
YACHTING PARTY
Big Dragon of Atlantic City
Thought to be Wrecked
in Storm
EIGHT PERSONS WERE ON BOARD

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept 19. -
Caught in the hurricane of Wednesday,
the yacht Red Dragon, which left here
with a party Of five men, woman and
two children, foundered off the coast
and all are probably lost Portions of
the rigging of the vessel and the bodies
of her captain and one of the crew
were washed ashore about ten miles up
the coast.
The party which started on a week
fishing trip, was made of Captain De
Witt Clark. Mr.. and Mrs. John Swan
son and two children, Frank Ducasse,
John Adams and another man, whose
name is yet unknown, all of this city.
The Red Dragon was a very seawor-
thy craft. and her owner. John Tall
man, and the friends and relatives OF
the people on board have been hoping
that by running before the wind she
might weather the storm. Patrolmen
from the government life-saving crew
at Harvey Cedars Station discovered
the body of Captain Clark on the beach
at Ship Bottom and reported the fact
at the Maritime Exchange here
Shortly after a report came from Bar
negat Of the finding Of the boom, gafi
and other rigging of the yacht at that
point. Still later the body Of another
man in the party was found at Bonds
Station. The identity of this body i:
not sure. but it is supposed to be tha
of Frank Ducasse. who is known a.
"Sinbad"
All of the lost men have families il
this city. There is practically no hop
that any of the party has escaped
watery grave. Soamen say that ther
is little chance that any of the part
could have been taken of by passin
vessels or otherwise saved, as the fur
of the storm would have made any at
tempt at rescue impossible.

Confession.

When I was young I made a vow
To keep youth in my heart as long
AS there We're birds upon the bough
To gladden. me with song.
To learn what lessons life might give
To do my duty as l saw,
To love my friends, to laugh and live
Not holding death in awe.
So all my lyrics sing OF joy,
And shall until my lips are mute;
In old age happy as the boy
To whom God gave the lutte.
