NO TRACE FOUND OF
 BOB SCOTT AND COMPANION

A party consisting of Capt. Otto Elfstrom, Ole Hanson, H. P. Sullivan and Tony Dahlstrom returned today from a trip down the sound in the launch Katalla Queen where they have been the past few days search ing for Bob Scott and Nick Mishka. who left here shortly after New Years to go to Galena Bay, and who failed to arrived at their destination. MT. Scott and MT. Mishka had a scanty supply of provisions with them, and it is believed they are lost.
 The searching party visited all the bays and coves on both sides of the sound in search of the men, and at no point could trace of them or their boat be found. It is barely possible that their small craft may have been driven to some of the outlying isl- ands and that the men will show up, but it is extremely improbable that such is the case.
