finding today of the rowing barge In

the South San Francisco Rowing club
set out for a jaunt on the bay Wed
nesday and the party not having since

last hope that the lads might still be
alive. The barge was picked up in
a battered condition on the Berkeley
shore OF the bay.
strong ebb tide was running at
the time the boys set out and II is
supposed they could not make much
headway against this on their return
