as soon as the word was received early
yesterday that the balloon he'd been
found with no trace Of its missing occu-
pant.
Noc1uet evidently landed safely with
bis car md ia fighting his way out
Of the meadows in the darkness, bad
trayersed about two-ffths of the dis
tance from Jones beach to Amityville,
when he died. He had crossed Is or
III different islands and had swum or
waded through the rnnlets between them.
Up to almost the last be wore his
overcoat, which must have been water
soaked from the time he took the first
channel. He stopped on the next to
the last island he reached and removed
the life preserrer and the overcoat and
then resumed the prescrver.
He must have felt that his strength
was giving out and the lights Of Arnity-
villc must have seemed almost as far
away as when he started. The overcoat,
still sodden, was found near the edge OF
the island, Just where he had cast it
of before making the last swim.
He crossed the runlet and climbed on
to the boggy, shaking mass Of mud, sand
and dead rushes known as Cats island.
He crossed it distance OF perhaps one
hundred feet and apparently as he reach
ed the near bank he must have stumbled
and fell exhausted itno the shallow
creek. He may have died from sheer
exhaustion or heart disease before fall
ing When the body was found, is lay
face down in the bog.
