I Fishermen and other volunteers
early today were searching the
rocks and Jetties for three addi
tional bodies expected to bring
ts 14. the death list of the 40-foot
launch Clara H.. which capslied
In the Atlantic at the mouth of
Sebaatan Inlet late yeaterday with
a party of 23, principally Kan
sans. All of the rescued suffered cuts
and bruises, when dashed against
the rocks, but the conditions of
only one was regarded as serious.
Passage of the Inlet was made
safely but because of the rough
seas outside, Captain Arnold de
cided to turn back. The boat
failed to respond to the helm
quickly enough, some of the res
cued said, and was a quarter
around when a wavo swept over
the deck, washing several mem
bers of the party overboard. The
next wave which hit the craft
turned It over.
The heroic efforts of James Ar

Arnold, saved the lives of four

father's launch turned turtle.
Survivors said the lad swam
ashore and obtained a small boat.

In placing four persons In the
