it

dory
off

some
fifteen

of
Prince

in
Chatham
Sound,
in
a
heavv
eale
that
suddenly
sprung
up
early
last
FrI
M
day
evening.
News
of
the
supposed
tragedy
was
brought
to
the
city
on
Saturday
evening
by
Capt.
Joe
Pe
terson
of
the
lighthouse
tender
Blr-nie.
Capt.
Peterson
was
himself
informed
of
the
affair
on
Saturday
:
when
he
called
at
Lucy
Island.
He
spent
some
time
that
day
searching
for
the
two
men
but
was
unsuccessful.
He
then
returned
to
the
city
and
reported
the
matter
to
the
provincial
police
who
have
now
taken
charge
of
the
investigation,
j
According
to
the
lighthouse
keep
er
at
Lucy
Island
wo
tafojmed.the.
ijirnie,
joung
Laporte
and
Rudland
were
engaged
in
cod
fishing
with
the
gasboat
Wolf,
belonging
to
Rudland.
They
had
considerable
gear
out
when
the
sudden
squall
came
up
at
about
4:30.
The
gasboat
sank
as
the
two
men
were
in
the
small
dinghy.
According
to
the
light-keeper,
who
viewed
the
Incident
from
a
distance
of
about
500
yardi
but
was
unable
to
help,
the
small
boat
was
blown
seawards
and
tha'
was
the
last
he
was
able
to
see.
The
gale
continued
into
the
night
and
it
is
feared
that
the
dinghy
was
swamped
and
Laporte
and
Rudland
drowned.
In
view
of
the
condition
of
the
weather",
it
is
hardly
considered
possible
that
the
two
men
could
have
had
the
luck
to
be
cast
up
on
one
of
the
outside
islands
before
their
boat
perished.
The
failure
of
the
Blrnie
to
sight
anything
during
her
search
on
Saturday
also
leads
to
misgivings.
A
heavy
gale
is
blowing
today
and
it
is
impossible
to
use
any
mall
boats
for
searching.
With
their
own
boat
out
of
port
on
other
work,
the
police
are
intending
to
carry
out
further
search
with
other
boats
as
soon
as
weather
permits.
Laporte
and
Rudland
are
reported
by
the
lighthouse
keeper
to
have
drifted
in
the
direction
of
Dundas
Island.-
He
watched
the
small
boat
go
out
until
it
became
dark.
Meantime,
the
wind
was
getting
stronger
and
sea
rougher.
Despite
rough
weather,
such
police

were

a
