who waged a hard fight to rescue the
partv. said the launch apparently had
become disabled and its occupants
frightened as the craft drifted toward
the open sea.
The Grays went to the rescue in a
small boat with an cupboard motor.
They succeeded in getting line to the
launch but said one of the women on
the larger craft, instead OF making II
fast, jumped overheard. They hauled
her in with the line.
A second woman then was hauled
toward the little boat, but 1t capsized
as she attempted to climb aboard. At
the same time huge wave struck the
launch and overturned it.
The Grays said they had counted five
women and one man struggling IN the
water after both boats had upset.
The rescue workers said they saw
two women go down and saw the cap
sized launch drifting to sea with three
women clingirg to it. None was identi-
fed.
Relatives reported nine Murders of
two families missing from the little
fishing village of Marshal not far from
