Local Fisherman Lost From Deck - Dragger Denehy
Alfred Muise, 32 years of
age, 40 Harbor terrace, was lost at sea from the Boston trawler Frances C.
Denehy, off Cape Henry, Virginia, shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The Denehy put into Norfolk, Va., early last
night and Capt. Raymond Amerault, master, reported the tragedy.
The Denehy left
Norfolk at 10 o'clock yesterday morning for the fishing grounds off the Virginia capes and
Muise was reported to be in his bunk. At 1 o'clock, one of the crew
went below to call him to go on watch and found him missing.
The trawler turned back and spent an hour in
searching the waters of Hampton roads but found no trace of the missing man.
Muise, who was second
engineer, had been a member of the crew of the Denehy since last
June. He was formerly with Capt. Carl Olson and left to take a site
on the Denehy, fishing out of Boston until late last fall, when
the vessel went south to fish out of Norfolk.
He was a native of Nova Scotia but had spent
most of his life fishing out of this port and Boston. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Mary
A. Muise, and a large family of children. |
