they are unable to find any n VINO
wants to earn the reward.
The Red Bank authorities do not ap-
pear to be very in their
efforts to recover the bodies, n ap-
near to be content to wait until the
waters give up the dead and wash the
bodies ashore.
George \ Martin, a brother-in-law OF
Mrs. Schreier, went to Red Bank yes
terday and offered several fishermen

chances because of the rough water
at the place where the men were seen
to sink. 1t is said that no vessel
smaller than an ordinary sized sa1lboat
could ply in those waters. .
