Baltimore. Feb. 2.-The thawing weather
Of the last two days is stimulating the
hope that the bodies of the five men who
disappeared two weeks ago after starting
TO row from Miller's shore 10 Bay shore
Park, and who are believed to have been
drowned, will soon be recovered. and
the terrible suspense under which the
relatives of the men are laboring re-
lieved
The break in the cold spell has already
loosened the ice in the bay and its trib-
utaries and all that is necessary now is
a strong north or northwest wind to
start the ice foes toward the ocean. With
the bay free from ice It is thought that
the finding Of the bodies will be an easy
