Deserted Ram Ship With Terrific Battle Signs Found Off New York
A two masted schooner was found deserted two miles southeast of Whistling Buoy near Point Outlet at Great South Bay by Coast Guard Cutter Manhattan.

The original name Elith Melen Bush and possible obliteration of Patrical Dehan name raise questions.
