,sarance OF the clothing and boots
round on two of the skeletons. they
were evidently those of fishermen, The
arst skeleton found was in an upright
position, the remaining three we're re-
Ginning.
No record can be found which would
indicate the date these bodies were in
TERED Rumor has 1t that four fisher
men mysteriously disappeared in this
vicinity in 1868. leaving boat on the
bay shore FOR which no owner could
be found.
The skeletons were found ten feet
below the surface This probably
would account for the partial preser-
walton of their wooden clothing.
