Craft of Death: Ill-Fated Boat Story Emerges
The ill fated boat began two years ago with Alva Shrake selling it before completion to George Callentine who finished it and used it in the 190 season. It measured 22 feet with the engine and steering near the bow and was launched about three weeks ago. Cal Fontine likely ran the engine while John Chiida held the tiller. Hall was believed to be aboard as the other occupant sat near the stern. The craft had a capacity of about ten persons.
