Miss Major, who lived alone and
had comparatively few intimate
friends, had been accustomed to SWIM
ming alone in the Potomac, at point
which she never revealed. Sometimes
she drove to the swimming site in her
tiny automobile and other times she

Investigators, too, were considering
the possibility that the girl voluntarily

accompanied by a fawn-colored great
