ONE BODY RECOVERED.
The Search for the Other Victims of the
Recent Drowning Accident Continues.

The Search for the Other Victims of the
Recent Drowning Accident Continues.
The search for the bodies of the four per-
sons drowned by capsizng sail boat in
Belfast harbOr July 26th, has been continued
with varying results. City Marshal Nc
Donald had a crew at work with a trawl,
and Silver Cross Lodge, K. of p, had a
party with sweep 30 fathoms long. Both
parties worked whenever the wind and
weather would permit. They hooked on to
several objects on the bottom, but these
proved to be logs, stumps and other rubbish.
Several persons reported seeing the boat
about o'clock Sunday night and then sud-
denly losing sight of her. Ranges were
taken from the positions of these various
observers, and the location of the accident
was determined within radius of half
mile, more or less, as the ranges did not
agree exactly. Some persons were con-
siderable distance away and all did not see
the boat at exactly the same time. The
dragging parties covered the bottom of this
section as we'll as possible. The water was
from to fathoms deep and the bottom of
soft mud. Sunday afternoon, August I'd,
several parties were out and the Knights of
Pythias crew hooked on to heavy object
which was thought to be the boat. Monday
forenoon a crew with large launches and
proper apparatus went to the spot and got
hooks on it. Diver l. NJ Cottrell went down,
hoping to find some of the bodies near the
boat, but was disappointed, as the object to
which they had hooked proved to be only
large log.
Thursday, July 30th, a boy in 1slesboro
picked up straw hat on the western shore
and sent it to Belfast. Mrs. Pillsbury
recognized it as one she bought for her
little boy the day before the accident.
Sunday forenoon another boy walking on
the shore south of Crow Cove, found the
body of Miss Blanche Pillsbury at the ex-
treme high water mark. Coroner Z. X.
Coombs of Belfast was notified and went at
once to Islesboro in launch, accompanied
by City Marshal Mcdonald, C. B. Hall and
police officer Nckerson. The body probably
hoated ashore on one of the high tides the
first of last week, as the clothing was dry
andthad evidently been out of the water fer
IS hours or more. The body was taken to
Mr.. Coombs' undertaking rooms and Mon
day was placed in the receiving tomb. Tues
day it was taken to Sanford for interment,
accompanied by the grandparents.
City Marshal Mcdonald will have men
search the western shore of IslesbOro and
the shores of Isola Bella, Flat Island, and
other islands, this week.
Mr. Pillsbury's business is continued for
the present under the management of SAM
ue Adams.
