TILLAMOOK. Ore., July 5 UP)
None of the bodies of the nine per
sons drowned in the Pacific wean
here Sunday have yet been recovered.
Monday coast guardsmen, relatives
of the dead and hundreds of volun
teers patrolled tlie beach from dawn
until dark but none of the bodies
were sighted. Captain Robert Farley.'
officer in charge of the.Barvlew coast
guard .station, expressed the opinion
It probably would be a week before
any of them would be washed ashore.
The nine who drowned were aboard
the fishing launch Truxlllo which
capsized while crossing the Tillamook
bar on a ebbing tide. Five other per
sons were rescued by coast guards
men and volunteers who swam out
-from shore, through the heavy surf,
and dragged them to aafety.
The Truxlllo was washed ashore
half a mile north of the jetty. The
boat's papers, also washed ashore,
are being held by Captain Farley.

has indicated he will arrange a bear

for the tragedy.

atively few of those who died this
year were the victims of fireworks,
which caused but 10 deaths tn all.
Automobile accidents were the chief
cause, one hundred and eleven being
killed in motor mishaps.
Total drownings SI tor the
nation fell off considerably from the
previous year, when about 181 jierlslt
ed in the water, due Jji all probability
to the fact that cool weather Cc
populsted the beaches to a large
extent.
