They advanced the theory aft four bodies, evidently of Japanese, bad washed ashore in the last few days, followed by discovery of bits of wreckage from the Yomato to- day. The theory ts substantiated by the fact that recently several fish- ing craft have come into port with their prows broken or their sides rammed, the crews always refusing explanation, How many men. have lost their lives on the Yornato, which has been missing from San Pedro nearty a month, has not been learned as no record of her crew thus far has been found. eee Identify Body of One Slain in Fight! 108 ANGELES, Aus.
