Death

Uncontrolled Yacht Drifts On To Reef

From Our Own Correspondent

Tulagi, Oct. 15.

T'HE end of a long adventure came a few weeks ago when the Chance, a converted lifeboat, which was doing one of the long single-handed adventure trips which are now one of the few remaining outlets for the spirit of discovery and self reliance that persists in man, drifted into Kia Passage, Ysabel, with the body of a man of 72 years, apparently dead some days.

So far as is known here, the adventurer was an American, and had contributed articles to various newspapers on his ex periences. Probably he would have asked no better ending to his voyage or his life, than to pass away in the midst of his travels. Up to the present time the vessel has not been brought into Tulagi.
