The boat capsized, and all except Chaugo were probably drowned at once. He clung to the bottom of the boat until within 30 or 40 rods of the shore when the spars struck bottom, and he was knocked off and drowned. His body, with the hats and caps of the others, have come ashore. On Tuesday seines were dragged for the others, but no bodies found.
