New Haven, May 13.-M1ssing since they left Pond Point in a small dory late Tuesday afternoon, and almost given up as lost by their friends, three Yale students, W. D. Bishop, Chanter Cornish and Everett O. Waters, show ed up at their rooms late yesterday forenoon after a perilous all night on the sound, during which they drifted about clinging to their over turned dory, finally landed on Southwest ledge breakwater, and tried vainly by way ing lanterns through the long hours of the night to attract attention.
 They were discovered by the light keeper in the morning when he crossed to the breakwater to extinguish the night signals.

 They left Pond Point between and o'clock in small dory which they had brought down from the Bridge port Yacht Club the night before. They had hardly left shore before a heavy wind blew up and a series of violent squalls kicked up a heavy sea and capsized their boat. All three were dumped overheard but chung to their overturned dory taking turns at straddling it to prevent exhaustion. For six hours the dory was kicked about the Sound, and though chilled and worn out, the students managed to stick to the bottom of the boat until fortunate shift in the wind blew them toward the middle breakwater.
 Reaching it after a hard fight they up onto the rocks and tried to attract the attention of the light house keepers on the other two break waters. Unable to attract attention by their cries for help they, too, pulled down the lights at one end of hours.
 This attempt was also vain, and finally they gave up hope of getting help before morning and broke into the oilhouse, where they got fuel to kin dle a fire and dry their clothing.
 All night they huddled beside the fire, until about 4 o'clock in the morn ing when the keeper of the Sperry hlSnI c<t1nS ONST III d DOdI IO put JUL the lights and found them. He took them to his quarters and while they were there further trouble came with the appearance of a .lobsterman who rowed up to their capsized dory, right ed, it and started ashore. Their cries failed to deter him. Today the stu dents declared they would cause his arrest.
