Lieut. Martin' W. Rasmussen, district Coast Guard commander, received a re- port that the crew of a fleeing Toledo rum boat saw a pursuing Coast Guard speed boat crack in two on the crest of an unusually high wave and toss three guardsmen floundering into the | water. | The tragedy occurred last Thursday | during a storm, according to the story | from the rum runners themselves. | Bodies of two of the guardsmen, Capt. | Gardner D. Young and Motor Machinist Mate Willlam Pratt, have been recov- | ered, but that of Jack Hay, chief motor machinist, is still missing. Authorities considered it certain he perished with the other two. . - Florists Plan Outing.
