Meanwhile the police had issued a
general alarm for them, and all the
life-saving stations along the New
Jersey coast were notified. Crews of
outgoing fishing vessels were re-
quested to keep a lookout for the
missing pair, but no word was re-
ceived from them until late Thurs
day. At seven o'clock they appeared
at their homes.
They had drifted into Point City

as to manoeuvre the boat as to per-

draggled and haggard from exposure
and lack of sustenance. They won't
