YACHTCAPSIzE

SUNDAY
Party From Wichita Kansas In
terested in Real Estate;
Fourteen Known Dead

MELBOURNE, Fla. Oct. 12.-
Fourteen bodies have been recover.
ed from the excursion %eamer
Clara B. which capsized about a
mile off the coast here Sunday after
noon. The yacht carried IS excur-
sionists and was owned by Captain
Il. Arnold.
Several rescues have been effect
ed in spite Of heavy sea, which
made II difficult to conduct rescue
operations
-Four of the rescued are being
given medical treatment. Their con-
ditions are considered serious.
The IA bodies recovered have
been brought to an undertaking es-
Establishment here. Several have not
been idntified
A partial list of the dead follows
Mrs. L. D. Davidson, Of Mel
bourne, wife of the manager Of
Melbourne Farms.
R. A Rutherford. Of Wichita.
Kans.
C. f. Roach and 12-year-old son,
Melbourne.
A man named Salmon, of Wich-
tia, Kan.
The remainder of the party is
said to have come from Wichita and
surrounding territory last Thursday
to look over property Of the Mel
bourne Farms company.
The boat left late this afternoon
for a short sea journey, but on
passing through the inlet south Of
here, found the sea running so high
that it was decided to put about and
return TO port. The rough sea and
the short turn are thought to have
been the cause for the upset.
The entire populace of this little
city tonight patrolled the coast line
for miles in search of the missing
who, it is thought, may be washed
ashore by the high seas.
An attempt vii be made today to
raise the ill-fated yacht.
