FATHERS IDENTIFY.
LOST SONS CANOE
Only Hope Now Is That Brown and
Jordan Were Picked Up
by Vessel.

Newport, n. j., April 4.-Thomas d.
Jordan and Police Sergeant EDMUND
Brown, Of Brooklyn, came here to-day
and identified a canoe as the craft IN
which their sons had left Bath Beach
last Sunday. Their only hope now is
that the youths were picked up by
some outgoing vessel. Lifesaving sta
lions and revenue cutters, however,
have been asked to watch for bodies.
The canoe was washed ashore at
Union, a suburb Of Keyport. last Mon
day and was picked up by Charles
Acker at a point about thirty miles
from Bath Beach. whence Thomas
Jordan, Of No 445 10th street, Brooklyn
and Clarence Brown ventured on sun
day in the teeth of a dangerous squat.
Nothing has been heard from tho boys
since then, and Acker was in ignorance
that the canoe he picked up had prob
ably lost two lives on its way across
from Bath Beach to the Jersey shore.
A newspaper story Of the probable
death of the canoeists attracted Ackers
attention, and he sent registered let
ter to Mr.. Jordan. The latter commu-
nicated with Sergeant Brown at the
Fort Hamilton station, and to-day the
two fathers arrived here.
The young victims Of the overturned
canoe were employed by the New York
Life Insurance Company. Jordan was
also studying law at night school.

for Bermuda.
