LOST IN SAIL BOAT.
Wealthy Young Man, Believed De-
mented, Sails from Cotut, Mass.

Cotuit, Mass, June 30-A vain
search of Vineyard Sound was made
today for the small sail boat Water
witch, with its lone pilot, Kenneth
Linn, a wealthy young man of Tampa
tla., said to be out of his mind as
result of a recent accident on a South
ern baseball field. Without food or
water. Linn left this harbor last night.
and when the fact became generally
known search was made by the
pleasure craft in this vicinity. The
tender of the sailboat was found
peached on the shore of the harbor
mere There is nothing to show that
1t had contained a human passenger
and 1t is believed that it broke away
from the Waterwitch some time during
the night.
Under the care of r. l.. Sawyer,
trained nurse, Linn was brought here
to recuperate last Monday. Last eve
ning the young man escaped from the
watehful eye of his attendant, board
ed the Waterwitch. and before he
could be stopped. had disappeared
down the harbor. Whether he under
stands the navigation of sail boat is
not known here, but it is believed that
the craft was not provissioned
Some persons here are of the opin-
ION that Linn, demented. took the boat
IN an attempt to sail to the home of
ms parents in Tampa. Fla, and that
by this time he is somewhere in the
vicinity of Long Island sound or New
fork. Others believe that he is toss
ing about in nearby waters, unless he
mas been picked up by some passing
vessel or has fallen into the sea and
lost his life.
