LYNN CANAL MAN
 MAY BE DROWNED

SKAGWAY, July 9. - The Daily Alaskan last night says:
 It has been four days since anything definite has been heard of Harry Brooks who left the Columbia can nery for a visit to Skagway. He started out Friday evening in a small sailboat, owned by the cannery and the next day the upturned boat was discovered. Capt. Larson went out in his gas boat and lowed it to this city. Others secured the beaches in search of the lost man, but no trace of him has been discovered.
 Brooks had worked in Skagway dur ing the summer seasons for the past few years, and left a few weeks ago to accept work at the cannery as a fisherman. He was 2S years old and a Norwegian by birth.
 When the boat was found the sail was up, and everything indicated that a gust of wind or a heavy sea had overturned it, throwing him out to find death in the water.
 Brooks had been seen sailing the boat Friday afternoon about six miles from Skagway. The next morning about five o'clock Joe Beuchamp saw the boat from his home at BurrO creek but could not make out whether it had an occupant or not. An hour later Jim Williams, native coming up in a launch passed the boat and saw that it was filled with water, with the sail still up. He came to Skagway and in company with Capt. Larson went back and lowed It in, where it was found to have three holes in the bot tom indicating that it had been on the rocks.
 Capt Larson Sunday morning or ganized a party and they searched the beach for miles without finding any evidence of the missing man.
