Until they find wreckage from the boat itself, I still have hope,” she told The large fish box was first spotted by fisherman Willie Know- les yesterday morning. He notifi- ed the Coast Guard which sent out a 40 footer with a small boat for searching the area. The box was found off Pete’s Point, Boca Chica Key, four miles from where it was first spotted by Knowles, The box was positively identified by Cyril Lowe, Coast Guard em- Ployee as oné that was made for Garcia's 32 foot cabin cruiser. Garcia and Saunders left Key West on April 10 on.a red snapper fishing expedition. They were last seen the following day. An inten- sive Coast Guard search was ins- tituted for the men using planes and boats. Private boat men co- operated and went as far as the Marquesas to find the missing men. Both men are fathers of families. Both men were expert seamen. The structure of the bot- tom of the boat, however, may have been a cause of serious trouble at sea.
