YACHT WRECKAGE
IS WASHED ASHORE
Mystery Surrounds Identity
of Vessel Believed Lost
in Recent Gale.
By the Associated Press.

PORTLAND, Me-, September g.
While the sea continued today to give
up fragments of wreckage, sailormen
of this port and others today strove
to rec instruct a mystery of the At
lantic in which, they believed, large
white.painted vessel perished in a re-
cent gale.
For the third day reports continued
to be received here of pieces of wood
being washed ashore or picked up by
lighthouse men or fishermen. All
these appeared to have come from one
vessel. although no such craft had
been reported missing in these waters.
On Thursday several pieces OF ma

fittings of a yacht, were found at
Sequin, near the mouth OF the kenne-

painted wood, believed to be parts Of
the hull, and also fragments OF
paneling. Similar wreckage was re-
ported by Everett Moore, keeper OF
the Half Way Rock light. The largest
piece of wood was Is feet long.
Capt. narles Blackburn. skipper OF
fishing vessel, reported on arrival
here today that he had passed severa
doors and other pieces of wrecked
vessel. A Long Island fisherman
towed home what appeared to De a
part of the deck of vessel.
Those who have examined the
fiotsam expressed the belief that
large yacht was either driven ashore
on the Maine coast or f1oundered OFT
shore in one of the fierce gales or re-
cent weeks.

The town of Columbus is on the move.
Taking all that is left of a century

their tangible property. the villagers
today were moving to the bluffs half
a mile from the turbulent Mississippi.
The frame house of Charles Mays, on

usable material salvaged and the
dwellings reconstructed.

This is Interpreted here as an al
fusion to the possibility that the

If the views of President Villegas
meet with the approval of Latin

possible that the League Of Nations
may take on new political force and
prestige, perhaps even endeavoring
to settle the Tacna-Arica dispute.
