DISTRESS FLARES SIGHTED.
Signals Near st. Petersburg Believed
From FreighterS.

ST PETERSBURG, Fla. August Ia
(P).-Distress flares were sighted in the
gulf from the Coast Guard base here
last night, while the entire force of the
local base was occupied in an effort to
save cutter which had been battered
against wharf In the gale.
Base observers saw green flares due
west and TO the north of the coast. but
we're unable to estimate their distance
No boats were sent out in view of the
fact that four patrol cutters were last
reported from the l2-mile line early in
the evening indicating that they would
be i'll a position to act sooner than the
base craft
II was believed that the flares came
either from freighters or two 75-foot
sailing boats operated by PONCE fisher
men. who decided to so out late today
despite storm warnings. All big pas
senger vessels plying gulf waters were
accounted for as far as the base could
determine.
