1t Is thought that when persons be.
gin to claim articles in the Dorado,
there will come to light a startling
series Of thefts from houses and
yachts along the coast from Maryland
to Rhode Island. There ia, too, q
suspicion that something very like q

and 1t has been suggested that the
sloop may have figured In q bank rob.
