A similar message was sent to New York and the police boats there were despatchod to seek traces of the stolen boat Bridgeport was notified. Port Jed'erson. Stamford Larchmont. New Rochelle and a number of other places so that by noon a description of the yacht was in the hands of the police in almost every harbor on the Sound where she could put in. Particular at- tention was given to points to the westward. as owing to the direction of the wind. it was believed that she “would be more likely to proceed in that direction. She would have almost a fair wind going up the Sound to New York while it would be reach going down East. "Defiance" is a sloop yacht without a topmost. She is about forty-live feet over all, and is painted white She has an ample cabin with four port- boles on each side She is valued at about $3,500. and is one of the nicest boats in the Norwalk Yacht Club’s dost.

Has Not BoonSoenandPar- ties are Searching for Him Yesterday afternoon Charles John- son. of Henry street. South Norwalk. went sailing with a party of friends. They left him during the evening and returned from Roton Point by trolley. He started from Roton at 10 o'clock last night to sail to the inner harbor. Since that time no trace of him has been discovered. an it is feared that the boat capsised, and he was drowned, as the weather was rough last night and the rain fell in torrents. The police have been notified and parties of friends in launches are searching the sound and shores of the harbor in hopes of finding some trace of him. inquiries have been made all along the‘mhores of the harbor but absolute- ly without avail. The party. which comprised Charles Johnson. William Purdy. Frederick Davis and William Fender. started yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. to go for a sail. They took a “half ' skiplack." which was owned by Ed- ward Johnson. a brother of Charles. and started off in the direction of Roton Point. They sailed around the harbor most of the afternoon and land- ed at Roton Point. where they went to the Rome Point Hotel. it came on to rain in the early evening and they got wet through. it was decided to take the trolley for home and get the boat today. as she was believed to be in a safe anchorage. The party started for the trolley car. when Johnson turned back. saying that he would ts k‘hthe best home. dually prevai upon his friendsto let him go and he started. The other menihprs'of the party reached the city inssfetyrbut when morning came neither Johnson or the boat could he found and his friends became anxious about him. Telephone messages to different places where he might he. failed to give any clue and about 10 o'clock this morning his brother. Ed- ward Johnson. and William Ponder started out in Herman Malmo‘s launch to see if they could find him. They visited a number of places along the shores and stepped at The Knob Out- ing Club and the Norwalk Yacht Club. making inquiries regarding him. Nothing "could be learned. however. Several volunteer par les started out this afternoon in in has to aid in the search. but at p as time no re- sults had been Obtained. The boat in which Johnson was sailing was what is known as a “half skipjsck." a shal- low boat similar in construction to a sharpie but not absolutely fiat bottom- ed. She had an eight foot beam and was about nineteen feet overall. Boat.- men consider that she. had a rather large sail area for a craft of her site and conclude that with only one man on board in a rough sea. at night. with the wind blowing hard and tor- rents of rain failing that she would be a dangerous craft to bei Strong hopes are entertained that Johnson. finding it impossible to navi- gate the harbor in the dark. had put out into the sound and sailed to some harbor nearby or possibly went across to long Island; There are grounds for the fear that he may have been upset and lost. The fact that the boat has not yet been found is es- couraging and leads to the belief that he is safe. Dad‘of the searching parties return- ed to the city late this afternoon. but at that time no trace of the missing man had been fodnd They went back - and were continuing their search at Dress time.

Charles C. Swarts, son of Shell Fish Commissioner and Mrs. C. Swarts. 0 South Norwalk, is probably the only resident of this towuu who has been iii the flood district in Kansas. Mr. Swarts, it will be remembered. left South Norwalli several days ago for the West, expecting to spend five weeks at the mining'camp, at Aspen. Colorado. of Columbia college, New York, and later go to New Mexico. to spend several weeks. Mr. Swartss' parents today received a communication from him dated New- ton. Kansas. June ith. it said: “We have been in the thickest of the flooded district for the past two days. and now think we are safely out of it. Kansas City was awful; no water in the pipes. no gas or electric lights, but few cars running, and the river a swirling mass of muddy water, stretch- ing for miles across. The sun is out bright today for the first time since we left New York.” The train on which Mr. Swarts is making the Journey to Colorado. was delayed several hours by reason of the havoc wrought by the madly rushing rivers. but he has by this time deubt- less reached his destination. and has witnessed one of the most devastating floods of the century. ., -~w~_ ~3—~ ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICES.
