the immediate results OF the New

ton by Senator Crane of the man

BODY OF DROWNED FISHERMEN
 NOT RECOVERED.
Efforts to Raise schooner Nautilus Are Without Avail--Young Boy
 shoots Man Near Pen-
 sacola.

Pensacola. Fla, Nov. l5.-(SpeciaLl-- Efforts to float what is left or the schooner Nautilus and to locate the body of Henry Gayle. the fisherman who was drowned from that vessel prior to the explosion and hre wnlch wrecked her, were made during today but without success.
 Searching parties, spurred by oners of .,re wards for the recovery of the body, searched the beach for the remains of the man, but without result. It Is believed that the body has been car ried out by the tide and that 1t will never be recovered.
 There Is no definite point at which the search can be made. as 1t is not known at what place the man fell from the vessel or was knocked from it. Tn some quarters 1t. is the belief that he was In the engine room when the explosion occurred, and was so badly burned that he became erazed for the moment and leaped into the water to relieve his suffering, such as has been frequently done.
 Tugboats were sent to the point where the schooner was run ashore while on ire, and succeeded in pulling her frem: the position she had been placed by the life-savers, but this only resulted in the schooner sinking when shs reached deep water, as the fire had eaten through the hull.
 1t Is possible that she can be saved but If so 1t will be necessary to re- build a portion of the hull and decks.
