EARL OF CRAVEN
BROWNS OFF WIGHT

LONDON. July II Omitted Press)
Investigation was continued today
in the mysterious death of the Earl
Of Craven, lieutenant for the county
Of Warwick, who was drowned off
the Isle Of Wight late Saturday night.
His yacht, the Sylvia, was anchor
ed in the channel between the island
and mainland. The body was re-
covered on the rocky shore near
Cowes last night.
The assumption is that the Earl,
whose wife was Cornelia Martin,
daughter Of the late Bradley Martin,
New York capitalist. fell from the
deck of the yacht and was carried
away by the ebbing tide. He had
been observed sitting in a deck chair
near the stern, where there was no
guard rail, shortly before he was
missed.
