Life it- celf is a mystery and the most perplexing of all mysteries. Next to it is the mysterious disappearance from life, as in »urge LeMay, which kas been related | che case of Mis. G in detail in The Citizen. | Key West and the Ilorida Keys have had severai such cases, but the one that evoked the most interest oc- | curred duing the second World War. The Citizen pub- | lished column after coluinn about that instance, and, two | years later, when FBi investigation revived the story, ' more columns appeared in The Citizen on three succeed- ing days. Others would have been published, but the FBI requested The Citizen to discontinue them. | The disappearance happened on Boca Chica. One man, an American trom Detroit, was passing the winter in a trailer on that Key, and another man, of Germar | descent and presumed to be a Nazi agent, occupied a near- | by trailer. For several. weeks the German endeavored to persuade the American to go fishing in a skiff, but he was | suspicious and declined the invitation, Finally, he accept- ed the invitation, They rowed out toward the Gulf Stream THE 1952 SLATE OF OFFICERS of the Key West K evening.

The truth of that re- | port seemed to be established by the finding of bales of | rubber off the shore of Key West, Stock Island and Boca Chica. It was presumed they had come off a ship that had subma- | been sunk by a German submarine. | The day the American and German went fishing was clear and calm, The skiff they had used was found, in good condition, adrift in Hawk’s Channel, and one pre- | sumption was tiney had been taken aboard a German sub- marine, Was the American in possession of a secret the Nazis wished to learn? Why had the German tried persistently, over a period of several weeks, to persuade the American to go fishing? ‘Those and other questions were asked, but | they still remain unanswered. The story was a bang-up mystery and was played up in newspapers throughout the country. Several writers, in- cluding Frémk W. Lovering, who frequently has written for The Citizen, asked for further information, but L. P. Artman told Mr. Lovering and the other writers that The Citizen had run all the information, to the ultimate de- | tail, that had been obtainable. Mrs. LeMay may or may not be found, but “finis” seems to have been written to the disappearance of the American and the German in a skiff off Boca Chica on @ calm and clear ¢ SLICE OF HAM (\ ty t 45™ div. $ FleLoO KITCHEN Ban AP New iieoreces “BETTER CHANGE THE MENU TO HASH |° NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT of Key accepting the gavel from outgoing Lou who spoke at the annual Installation Dinner Monday evening z the chief West Kiwanis Club, Mr n.
