CANOE|SIS MAY ! HAVE BEEN PICKED UP
[WD Missionary Youths Believed to
 Be on Board Steamer.

New York, April 1.-Thomas Jor-
 an and Clarence Brown, the two
 ouths who left Gravesand Bay Sum
 lay noon in an 18foot canoe and
 ave not been heard from since, are
 n board an oil or tramp steamer
 ound for some tropical port, if the
 Imposition of two clamdiggers, who
 aw the canoe and the steamer near
 ach other Sunday afternoon, is cor
 ect. It is thought that the steamer not equipped with wireless, and
 hat therefore the missing youths will
 ot be heard from until after they ave reached land.
 William Decker of Ulmer Park, l..
 <. and Wm. Cromwell of Mackees- bort, Penn, are the clamdiggers who
 aw the young men. They told their
 tory last night in the Bath Gate Po-
 ice station to the parents of the boys and tho detectives looking for ] :7e canoeists. They were digging Hams in the lower bay, they said, ykon Jordan and Brown padded up n the canoe. . They positively iden- Iifed the boys from photographs. we told the boys that the current Iyas running out to sea pretty strong, |lnd that shey had better get into our 6ory and les us tow their canoe n," Declxar sasd, but they wouldn't 3ninE :is. They said thoy wanted to paddle over to Swinburne Island, and That then they would go home.
 They padded off and we watched them until they were almost out of kight, and, all of a sudden, it looked ] 10 us as if they were being carried but to sea. We thought we had better go after them and got out our oars. Sure enough as soon as we were within shouting distance We heard the boys calling for help. We pulled hs hard as we could, because the boys |were getting into rough water and |we were still far away from them.
 Then we saw a big steamer com kng between us and the canoe. She looked like a tramp or oil steamer hnd she was going out From her Eourse we figured that she would pass Fight by the boys, and pretty soon nhe came between us and them, and i've couldn't see the canoe any more.
 .sThen while the canoe was still olt of our sight, the steamer stopped She was broadside to us then, so we could see that she wasn't moving. In about five or ten minutes she went on, buT when she had gotten out of the ySay we couldn't see anything Of either the boys or the canoe. We rowed around quite a bit, but couldn't find trace of the canoe It seems to me the steamer certainly must have picked up the boys and hauled their canoe on board
 Decker's story gave the parents of the boys such hope that they were liot appresensive over the report that a canoe had been washed ashore at Eastport, l.. l., yesterday afternoon. :
