Fears Felt for Local Sworder
Sch. Malicia Enos Out for
Four Weeks and Has Not Been Heard From
News of Craft Anxiously Awaited
Owners and friends of members of the crew of
the sch. Malicia Enos , a little swordfisherman, owned by the
Interstate Fish Corporation of Rockport, which sailed for Georges four weeks ago today,
are worried over the failure of the craft to return or the lack of report from her from
the big fleet which has been fishing on George's for swordfish this summer.
The Enos was engaged
in south mackerel netting this spring and shifted over to swordfishing as is the custom
after returning from the south. As far as is known she carried five men as follows:
Charles Leo Joyce, master,
43, married, native of Nova Scotia
John P. Powers, 36, married, Gloucester, native of St. Johns, N.F.
Thomas Tuddy (Tutty), cook, 55, single, Gloucester, native of Nova Scotia
Walter McKay, 30, married, Gloucester, native of New Brunswick
John Blondin, 55, single, of East Boston
The Enos was built
in this city in 1903. She measured 16 tons gross, 8 tons net, 40 feet long, 14.6
feet in breadth, 5.8 feet in depth. News is awaited hourly by anxious ones who are
hopeful that the little craft will turn up safely.
[The Malicia Enos was
never heard from again.] |
