The Morning Astorian counts it

Captain Connick and his crew Of life

that OF young Frank Sullivan, the
man who lost his life, to make a
holiday" as it were, for the people Of
this community on the opening OF the
recent Regatta, by making a high
dive from the topsail yards of the
British ship Donna Francesca off the
grapdstand.
1t is now known that shortly after
the tragic accident, Captain Simon, Of
the Donna francesca, found the hat
and shoes discarded by Sullivan when
he went aloft to make the dive, and
took them to the office the Acting
British Vice Consul T, NJ Cherry

the garment was found an unmailed

discussion Of yesterdays phantom
