Two Boys Drown In Bay After Frail Box Raft Sinks
Manley Wilson aged 14 and Malin Reich aged 10 disappeared with a frail wooden box raft while gathering kindling along Garfield avenue bay. Their bodies were found about 7:30 pm after searchers followed a trail of clues from shore to water. They left home in the morning wearing varied clothing, planned to tow the box along the shore, but the craft sank in shallow water forcing both boys under. Police and volunteers recovered the bodies, which were prepared for burial after funerals at their homes on Wednesday.
