including the girls.

MAY HAVE PERSISTED
NO WORD FROM YACHT WITH
"HoLY GHoSTERs" ON BOARD.

NEW YORK, January las mys-
FERROUS as has been nearly every
move of the Rev. Frank w. c'Elijah')
Sanford since he esta blished the Holy
Ghost and Us Society. at Shiloh. Me-, is
the whereabouts of the schooner yacht
Coronet, on which he and thirty of his
followers were supposed to be returning
from the far east under the flag of the
apostle
No word of the yacht. said to be long
overdue at the island of San Salvador,
the landing place of Columbus in the
Bahamas, has been received by the
maritime exchange, and because of the
schooners age, fears are expressed that
Sanford and his followers have been
lost at sea.
First Reported Overdue
The Coronet was first reported over
due by Capt. Moses. skipper of the
barkentine Kingdom which sailed from
Freeport, Me-. and was to have met ..e
Coronet at San Salvador. The Kingdom
left Freeport October 81 and touched at
ST Thomas December 10. She has been
at San Salvador more than a week.
At the time Sanford, in the spring of
1905, formed the Kingdom Yacht Club of
Shiloh, to carry his followers broadcast
in an effort to spread his religion, it
was wondered at that he purchased the
Coronet. She was then twenty years
old and her battles with the seas.
which began with her beating the late
Caldwell P. Colts Dauntless across the
ocean in 1887, had told in her every seam
Sanford bought the vessel from Louis
Bossert of Long Island City, who. in the
summer of 1904, lived aboard her in
Jamaica bay.
Old Lorillard Yacht
With the Coronet Sanford purchased
the Wanderer, once a famous craft owned
by Pierre Lorillard, the tobacco king.
which was later converted into a slave
ship. 1t was considered the irony of fate
that she should be purchased to save
souls.
The two yachts cost Sanford more than
5000, 900 to purchase and refit, it was said.
AS soon as the Coronet was overhauled
she was loaded with missionaries for
southern Europe, but she collided with the
Wanderer in Portland harbor after the
start. and that trip was postponed. A
month later she got to sea and arrived
safely in the Mediterranean. That was In
July, 1905. Sanford himself. was on
board and fears were expressed then for
the yachts safety. No word of her was
received from the time she sailed until
she passed Gibraltar, many days over
due.
Reported Wrecked.
The following year the Coronet was re-
ported to have been wrecked at South
Freeport, Me. and the Holy Ghost colony
held forty days of continuous prayer to
replace her. Money poured into Shiloh at
the rate of $1,000 day. Sanford in
| creased his fleet then by purchasing the
brigantine Rebecca Crowell, which he re-
named the Kingdom.
In July, 1906, the trip of the Coronet to
| the far east was planned. and it was a
mysterious one. After a thorough over
hauling she sailed August "a with the
Kingdom. The latter went to the Medi-
terranean and returned. reaching Port
land last April. 1t could not be learned
whether Sanford sailed aboard the Coro-
net and that she was bound for the Holy
Land was the only thing made public.
