LONG BEACH. May 5.-The body ot
one of the two victims claimed by old
ocean last Sunday evening came ashore
last night and was discovered early
this morning near Sunset beach. The
body was that of a boy of perhaps ID
years. He was clad in knee trousers.
Nothing was found in the pockets save
a nickel and a pair of shoestrings. The
body was identified today by Paul Lee
mar of West Long Beach as that of
the boy to whom he rented boat
sunday morning. The boat was iden-
titled yesterday afternoon by Lemar as
his.
The body of the drowned boy was re-
moved to Santa Ana. An inquest was
held.
Another youth is supposed to have
gone out in the boat also and to have
been drowned a mile or more out at
sea.
There had been no inquiry at Ala
niitos bay up to today by any one able
to give a clew to the identity of the
boys, and for that reason the case Is
considered most peculiar. Both are
believed to have lived in or near Los
.ngeles.
