Still looking for "Charade"

South Pacific yachtsmen and harbour authorities are still keeping a watchful eye out for the SUS2OO,OOO ketch Charade, which was stolen from the Waikiki Yacht Club last year.

Air and sea searches have been unsuccessful, but FBI agents in Honolulu have extended their inquiries to take in the whole South Pacific area.

When stolen, the 58 ft ketch was well provisioned and had fuel for 500 miles. She was painted white topside and blue at the waterline. The stem had varnished sides and a white top, and her two masts were notice ably raked.

An American eagle emblem was painted in gold leaf on the stern.
