Thomas J. O’Brien, the young medis: cal student who owns the Halcyon house at Watch Hill, is the loser of, $647 that was taken from a trunk lgst Saturday night. Young O'Brien, after his father’s death, e ged his uncle, James\ O’Brien, to manage the business for him while he was at the medical college, but during vacation Thomas directs the business. Last Saturday James complained of sickness and retired to his room, but it has been ascertained that he en- gaged a chauffeur that night to take him to Narragansett Pier in an auto- mobile, James had free access_to the trunk that contained the cash and when Thomas went to the trunk and discovered the loss, he at once con- cluded that the disappearance of U cle James and the cash at the same time_proobably had some cohnection. Acting upon that theory he went to Narragansett Pier in search of he:g:- cle, Sunday morning, but was unable to find any trace of him there. The case has been placed with John R. ‘Wilcox, sheriff for Washington coun- ty, who will endeavor to locate James O'Brien and perhaps clear up the mystery of the missing cash. Upon anltatlun of Allen Thompson, treasurer of the West Mystic Boat Co. several from Westerly witnessed the i recent launching of ° the hydroplane built at the plant for C. Oliver Iselin, Jr., designed by S. S. and R. P. Breese, New York. It is of the two-step pat- tern, and is nineteen feet and nine inches over all, with a beam measure- ment of four feet and eight inches and supplied with a Fox de Luxe engine of sixty-eight horsepower. The con- struction is of cedar three-eighths of an inch thick over elm timbers three- eighths by five eightks inches, spaced with seven-eighth centers, and copper fastened throughout. While the boat is not particularly light, and except for the shape of under body is practically the same as the ordinary displacement type, the motor is of the extreme high speed pattern, the intention being to run it from 1,400 to 1,600 revolutions a minute and the speed of the boat is expected to be between twenty and thirty miles an hour. yvears of experiment to develop a boat that would skim on the surface of the water instead of pushing through it, and at a same time be as practical and as seaworthy as the regular speed 2, a single-step nydro- plane designed by the same firm and built for Mr. Iselin is fourteen feet over all, with a 24-horsepower Fox motor and has done over thirty miles an hour rate.
