• SANTA CRUZ. June S.—Venturing
several miles to sea in a frail canvas
boat that they had themselves con
structed, George Doland, Lisle Hitch -
Ings and Earl Boyd, high'school stu
dents of 16 years of age or there
abouts, are believed to have been*cap
eised and drowned, yesterday after
noon. The local naval reserve cutters
were called into service, and these,
with a fleet of fishing boats and steam
launches, are making a thorough
search that has utterly failed of re
sults as yet.
The clothing of the boys was found
s at the mouth of San Lorenzo creek,
showing that they had undertaken the
» trip clothed only in bathing suits. An
alarm was given late in the evening,
and, while-every fishing boat and
ateapm craft in the harbor responded, it
is feared that* they were too' late and
that the boys have lost their lives.
" EISHERMEN TO RESCUE"
The fishing fleet was first put j off
from the pier in the search. Later an
alarm'was given to the naval reserves
and they quickly responded. Every
• part of Monterey bay was,searched, but i
no sign of either the boat or*its crew
was discovered. . -■» 'T -!
■ ♦ Inshore at this beach there is no
•■. *■ ■--.-.-.■■-... - ■ ■
undertow, nor any currents, but at the
whistling buoy, two miles off the
beach, there is a strong current and
frequently choppy seas. * While ■;' the
boys were good swimmers, they must
have been drawn out to sea while
rounding' the buoy, their boat capsiz- '
ing. The long swim to land apparent- |
ly was too much for them.
The boat that the lads constructed
• - * " J*Tifi<iJ» '^iMwiHilii nil', ~d'.
was 16 feet long and was known as a
canvas collapsible canoe. It was not
the sort of craft that could stand a
heavy sea. . •
WAn.MXfi IS NOT HEEDED
Notwithstanding the warning they
were given by the San Lorenzo bath
house guards, the boys threw off their
garments, put them in one of the lower
• river bathhouses and started out in
their bathing suits for the trip. The
day was pleasant, but at sea'consider
able wind w _ as blowing. It is not cus
tomary for any of the small craft of
the harbor to venture out beyond the
°buoy* unless they be the sturdy fisher
boats.
Last night is was reported that fish
ermen had seen the boys heading for
the buoy, but they did not believe that
the lads .were going farther than a few
hundred yards from the beach.
* Search Is now being made for the
bodies of the youths, ail of whom are
«if well known families of this city.
