Leaving absolutely no werd or trace
behind him to account for what APP
pears to be suicide at sea, William
McCracken, boatswain of the Oceanic
Steamship Alameda, and for over TWEEN.
ty-fve years an employee of the com.
pany, disappeared yesterday morning
while performing his duties on the YES
sci and has not been heard of since.
Down in the ships official log is the
record of another victim claimed by
the sea-another man gone to Davy
Jones' locker. Just the bare details
are given-for in fact, nothing further
is known-the statement of the disap-
and the search of the ship that was
maue.
Last Seen by Sailor.
Shortly after six o'clock yesterday
morning, while the Alameda was stili
over $50 miles from Oahu McCracken
set several sailors to work holystoning
the deck. He was last seen by one
of these men, T. Knudsen, who at the
time noticed nothing out of the ordl-
nary in the manner of the doomed of.
fcer who gave him his orders. It was
not fifteen minutes afterwards when
First Officer Dawson of the Alameda
wanted McCracken for some special
duty, and called for him. He was not
to be found, though no particular sig,
nifieance was attached to the fact at
that moment, as there were a hundred
places on the ship where McCracken
might have been. Later, however, the
Inflated mans absence was marked,
and Immediately a thorough search of
the entire vessel began.
Thorough Search Instituted.
The search lasted an hour, and EN-.
braced every part of the ship, but alb
solutely no trace of McCracken was
found. The ships boats on the top of
the deck were examined, in fact. every
conceivable hiding place on the Ala
media was looked into, but it was all
without avail. 1t would have been too
late TO stop the already delayed pas
senger boat as she was travelling at
the rate of fifteen knots an hour. Ev-
erything possible was done by the Of.
fcers and men of the Alameda in the
vain attempt to find their comrade,
and no blame whatsoever can be at
taehed to them. It was simply some
thing that, SO far as is known on the
ship, could not be helped.
Although no specific reason can be
devised. IT is the general opinion of
the men on the Alameda that Me-
Cracker leaped to death with inten
