could not determine in the dark

Police boats centered their search
around the Key System pier, which
juts out into the bay about a mile
from shore.
After several hours on the bay,
the Oakland police boat returned to
its wharf to await daylight before
resuming the search. The San Fran
cisco police had orders to continue

The searchers believed that the
body which the bridge workers re-
ported seeing had drifted toward

of the island was ordered.
