Of FIRST
SHIP OFFICER
IS RECOVERED
THos. PETERSON, FIRST MATE
ON NORWEGIAN VESSEL, WHO
HAD BEEN MISSING SINCE SUM-
DAY NIGHT, WAS DROWNED
BODY FOUND WAS IDENTIFIED.

The finding of a body floating In
the slip on the east side of Comman-
dancia street wharf yesterday after
noon about o'clock solved the mys-
terry of the disappearance of Thomas
Peterson, first mate of the Norwegian
bark Frances Hagerup, the body of
the man found yesterday afternoon
proving to be that of the missing sea-
man.
Peterson was last seen alive Sun
day night at II o'clock when he left
some of the members of his crew in
the Plaza square and started in the
direction of the wharf where his ship
was berthed. He failed to show up
during Monday and Monday night,
Captain Torgerson, the captain of the
Frances Hagerup, began searching for
him and made inquiry at the police
station, asking that a search be made
for him. Monday night and yesterday
the police looked for him in various
sections Of the city, but could find
no trace until yesterday afternoon
when Peter Callagaz, another seaman,
happened to see the body in the slip
at Commandments street wharf
The body was identified almost i'm
mediately after it was gotten out Of
the water. although 1t was in a bad
state of decomposition. From the
state in which the body was when dis
covered, Peterson must have fallen
into the water almost Immediately aft
er he was last seen alive.
It is not known how he came to be
drowned Qf he was drowned). but the
general supposition Is that be fell
overheard on his way to his ship, al
though it Is possible that he met with
foul play.
It is hardly supposed that he was
robbed, as It Is not thought that he
had any money at the time he was
last seen.
Peterson came here from Mobile only
a few days ago to Join the crew of the
Frances Hagerup and had not made
a voyage on the vessel.
He is a son of Captain Peterson
who was several years ago captain Of
the Fulton and made regular trips to
Pensacola
The body was removed to the un-
dertaking parlors of F. r. Pou on
West Romano street and prepared foe
burial.
