report had yet come from him or from
any of the ships officers. 1t was ex-
planned that difficulty in obtaining the
facts was due to the fact that the wire
less was not being used and also be-
cause none of the officers and men, so
far as the department was aware, had
yet reached the mainland of Long Is
land from Fire Island and were not ex-
pected to do so until after midnight, or
probably in the early morning hours.
