reported the case. A squad of police
men were sent out to search the beach.
They found Colell's bath robe on the
beach at the spot he usually entered
h surf from. This fact convinced
the family more than ever that he was
drowned.
Last night Mrs. Colell and her son Carl
went to the Rockaway police station
and rather startled the lieutenant in
charge by announcing hat Colell was
safe. What startled tire lieutenant was
the nj in which they described
Colell as being safe. Mrs. Colell had a
telegram, sent from Atlantic City,
stating that the wireless station there
had been notified by a passing ship out
at sea that Colell had been picked up
by them and was on board. The mes
sage also stated that the ship was
bound for Charleston and other South
ern ports.
The message from Atlantic City was
very brief and made no attempt to ex-
plain how Colell got out in the path of
the ship. From Rockaway Beach to

something Of a swim. All Rockaway
expects to hear an interesting yarn
