Aug. 5 (AP).—The battered hull of a trawler, with the body of a man entangled in the wreckage. today was being sought by the United States cutter Tallapoosa sixty miles off Little Egg Harbor. New Jersey. Fear that the death ship may contain the bodies of at least six men, who normally compose the crew of vessels of its type, was felt by shipping men. First definite news of the drifting derelict was received from the Coast Guard patrol best 160. which noti- fied Captain W. E. V. Jacobs, com- mander of the Coast Guard here. The Tallapoosa was immediately sent to the scene to pick up any bodies and to sink the wreck as a. menace to navigation. Today the Taliapooss reported that the wreck had not been sighted but that the search would continue. ' Neither the name nor the nation- ality of the wreck is known. but the presence of nets fantastically en- meshed in the broken hulk indicates that the boat was used by fishermen. It is thought that an explosion caus- ed the wreck. The one body sight- ed was so wedged among broken timbers that it could not be extri- cated by the crew of the patrol boat. oruerstone of Nurses’ John Cavanagh in Charge of Program Judge John Walsh to Make Principal Address 'At Exercises at Nurses’ Home—E.

After battling the treacherous tides and currents of the channel for vfesriy 17 hours. during which at one time he was only 600 yards from the English coast. at Point Hope. between Dover and South Foreland, he abandoned the attempt which began at Cape Gris-Ne: at 8:20 o'clock last night and was taken aboard his accompanying tug.

The pilot accompanying him in the tug told the swimmer that it would be four hours before another change in the tide would again enable him to approach the shore. Lieutenant- Colonel Freyborg then decided that because of the low temperature of the water and the improbability that ho’could last for four more hours. he would'nbandon the attempt. Colonel Theyberg has long been famous asi a swimmer. When 17 years old he was the champion long distance swimmer of New Zealsnd. where he was educated.

He was aided in the early hours of his swim by calm water and a favorable tide, and until 11 o'clock this morning. when he was only a mile off the direct course he was still swimming strongly and scores of spectators on the Dover cliffs thought he would make shore eas- ily. Had he gained the shelter of St. Margaret's Bay. east of Dover. a few minutes earlier. the Victoria Cross hero would have been suc- cessful in his gallant attempt. but the tide began to turn while he was still in the channel and although he struggled to a point only 600 yards from land he waé unable to breast the current.
