Midshipmen.-Last Seen in Frail
Craft, which is Later Discovered
Drifting on Water.
More than a score of midd:es are
searching the waters of the Severn
River, near Annapolis, Nd, for the
bodies of Mrs. Nellie E. Bowyer, Wild
ow of Joseph Bowyer, and daughter
in-law of Superintendent John NJ.
Bowyer, of the Naval Academy, and
Midshipmen Grisbie Thomas, of I'm
ion Point, Ca, and Sherman M. Ne
son, of Newport, K. I. The three left
the Naval Acauemy about II o'clock
tuesday morning, in sail boar, and
this boat was found drifting that
afternoon. In it were portions OF
the clothing that had been worn by
the members Of the party.
1t is believed that the midship-
men took Mrs. Bowyer to the bath
ing shore used by the Naval Acad-
enly people, and attempted to teach
her to swim and, that she, getting
beyond her depth, all three were
drowned. ALI efforts to recover the
bodies had been fruitless up to a
late hour.
Mrs. Bowyer and her midshipmen
missed the regular launch that
goes to the bathing beach across the
river from the Naval Academy, ana
took a half-rater sail boat instead.
There they donned bathing suits and
again taking to their boat, went
to a beach nearer the mouth of the
river, but within sight of the Naval
Academy. -
While this beach is good, it has
treacherous spots, where the depth
of water increases ST. enly. There
were no witnesses to what occur
red, but the discovery Of the boat
in which they had been and the fact
that no trace of any Of the party has
been found leads to the conviction
that all three were drowned.
