Staples. a farmer. living at Marvin’s Ridge, off the Pine Hill road. East Norwalk, has been missing since Tuesday, and it is feared by rela- tives and friends that he has been drowned. Friends are busy today ‘ grappling for his body off (‘ockeiioe is- land where his boat was found yarn terday. and where. it is expected, his body will be located” Captain William F. lloyt of the oys- tor steamer "Waneta." saw the boat yesterday morning, while sailing out into the Sound. He thought nothing more of it until afternoon. when he re- turncd and noticed the craft lying up- side down and held in position by two anchors, at the stern and bow. 0n . seeing the craft in this position be hauled it out and brought it up to South Norwalk. On investigation that night Mr. Hoyt found that the boat belonged to Mi. Staples. and that he 'had gone out fishing last Tuesday morning, anti had not been heard from since. The boat was found on the west side of Cockcnoo island and it is supposed that tiic'niissing man went. down at that place. Mrs Staples was questioned by a Sentinel representative. this morning at her home. and was vci y much alarm- ed over her husband's absence. She was almost positive that Mi. staples was drowned. as everything pointed in that direction She said: “My bus— band left the house about in oclock Tuesday morning. to go fishing. He never before went alone and this time ' he asked several to go with him. but hurling that none could go decided to go alone This is the first time in my life that l have knovvn him to go fish- ing alone His boat lies at the little creek near ”llalf Mlle island and there he went When it became. night- and he did not return I became a little alarm- ed. as there had been quite a breeze during the day and Was afraid that he might have. been upset. Mr Staples man. Charles Abbott went down to the shore. but could find no trace of him i did not worry very much Tuesday night. asl thought he might haxe been picked up, and was spending the night on some boat in the harbor. But when he. did not return yesterday morning i was thoroughly alarmed and sent Ah- bott down again. In the meantime Harry Wright had gone down in his boat. and there w ere several others out Scare. us. Last night. when i heard the out had been found upturned, i gave up hope that he was alive Mr Staples had on heavy rubber boots and my opinion is that he. was trying to haul one of the anchors in with a chop . py sea on. when the hitching of the boat threw him overboard. The sud- den plunge must have overturned the boat, and. with hla boots. he could not long have remained on the surface." ’When the boat. was found the cars leanings Ledge Installation 7 Past Eunmander 3 Hour Hunter- red rind tilhcers Hhuseii n Entertainment Felicia The lu- Iemtiug launches LnyJennlm muse.
