theory that pirates are afioat in the
north Atlantic has found credence
here. Belief in this explanation of
the fate Of the recently missing
ships has grown with establishment
Of tho fact that the message in a
bottle picked up two months ago

to explain the disappearance of the
crew of the five-masted Bath schoon-

of Diamond shoals, was written by
Henry Bates of Isleboro. Me-, a MEM
Der Of the crew.
Question of its genuineness was
settled by handwriting experts who
compared it with letters written by
Bates. The unsigned note stated that
the schooner had been captured by
an oil-burning craft, something like
a subchaser, that the members of the
crew who were hiding all over the
ship with no chance to escape were
being handcuffed and that everything
was being taken OF.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Willis
3, wormell Of this city, wife of the
captain Of the Deering. and friends,
an investigation is being conducted
coast guard and other government
agencies, to establish the fate of the
missing crew, which consisted of
twelve men, besides the captain. They
are working on the theory that the

reared in the same locality at about
the same time, while bound from
Texas to Boston, was captured by the
same pirate crew.
