ieved TO have been drowned Saturday

sent to pull the yacht off the shoal. The
tug Juno was communicated with at
the Delaware Breakwater, and when
she arrived at the shoals she found
that the yacht had sunk in the ship
channel There was no sign OF the
crew anywhere on the bay, which, at
that part, is nearly twenty miles wide.

launches from here TO patrol Delaware
Bay and shore in the hope OF finding

that he found the launch bottom up
near the Brandywine Lighthouse. The
keeper Of the lighthouse told him that
the last he saw of the crew was shortly
before dark when they were in the
llaunch trying to make the Delaware

was upset in the rough sea that was
running and that the four men were
