FAGAN'S BODY FOUND
AFTER FIVE MONTHS.
Discovered on Meadows by Mosquito
Commission Employees.

The body of Charles c. Pagan, who
was lost in the storm of last Decem-
Der, was found on the meadows back
of Margate City, by a surveyor en-
ployed by the Atlantic County Mos
quito Commission, while pursuing his
duties of running out lines for bitches.
The body, badly decomposed, was
lying about forty feet from the water
edge and all of the clothing, with ex-
ception of the hat, were practically
intact and furnished a means of iden-
tifcation. A cunning license and a
small account book found in the coat
pocket bore the name Of the deceased.
At the time of the n~ortheaster, Fa-
gan, who Wsntured out ducking on the
first day of the storm, was found miss
ing that night and a weeks search
through icy waters by several gangs
of local 5aymen failed to reveal any
clue Of his body at the time. His boat
ha< been found with the gun in the
bottom and the empty shell in one side
of the barrel suggested that he had
shot bird and had ventured onto the
rough ice to pick it up, being unable
in the terrific storm to make his way
back to the boat. At the time it was
considered impossible to live out in
