The canoe was spotted from the air by a Navy plane, washed ashore on Middle Island, near Krestoff. Both islands are west of Fort Ray indicating that the men either changed their plans or were carried off their course by tides and wind.
 Hall, who could not swim, had on a life preserver and his glasses when found. The position of his body indicated that he might have been seized by cramps and it was also indicated that he had died from exposure rather than drowning.
 Searching parties. numbering many Army and Navy officers and men, have been active since early Monday morning when it was re- ported the men had not returned.
 Capt. Frank G. Nasty, the mems commanding officer, stated that ev- cry facility was being used to locate the two men still missing, and he also stated that there was still hope that the men would be found alive.
 Hall, 21 years old, was from San Francisco; Hayden, also 21, was from Watsonville. Calif., and Rom ary, 20, from Berkeley.
 Lieut.. Col. Oral G. Layman, Post Commander, Fort Ray, said that this is the first serious accident involv- ing Army personnel since the post was established in May of this year. Col Layman issued a warning to all men of his command to exercise the utmost caution when planning weekend trips. especially on the water He stated that there must not be repetition of this regret able accident, and if necessary se- were steps win be taken to prevent it.
