When | Skipper Miller made his way back to| the wharf to go to the Eddy he was| without his ecoat or vest. The scow | scheoner was nowhere in sight, having | drifted to Bull's Head. Captain Miller was last seen on the wharf and some advance the theory that when he found his vessel missing | he plunged overboard and drowned | himself. Others believe that some of | the fishermen whose net was damaged | by the anchor of the Eddy are responsi- | ble for the disappearance of the young captain. | Thomas Lepahan, 18 years of age| and the son of William Lenahan, a| wealthy farmer of Maxwell, Cal. has| been missing since yesterday morning.
