puzzle that may be the result of an

Jackets. Some are marked "Caswits.

bear the name "Smeskf" Three miles
north of Big Kinnakeet part of
white yawl boat and a fragment of
boats gunwale washed ashore. There
are no marks on this wreckage.
Probably Passenger Ships.
Because all the life preservers and
the pieces of wreckage came on the
beach in such limited area, and be-
cause of the large number of jackets,
shipping men here are of the opinion
that whatever the cause may be, it
occurred not far from the coast, and
that If there is wreck it is probably
that of passenger ship A search
among the marine records has failed
to reveal any names that correspond
with those on the life preservers, and
life preservers are generally markd
with the name of the boat they are
on. 1t is probable revenue cutter
