No Trace Found Of Doctor And Nurse In River
Searchers dragged the Severn river through the night and into day but found no bodies of Lieut. Gerald Selby of the naval medical corps and Miss Lucille Merrill, a student nurse, after their canoe overturned during a river glide near Annapolis. Authorities at the naval academy say all hope is abandoned. The upturned canoe and Dr Selby’s coat washing ashore near the start led to the conclusion the tragedy occurred. Selby’s Atlanta, Georgia home and wife Florence Hawes are noted. Miss Merrill was a daughter of Dr W E Merrill of West Roxbury Massachusetts.

Lincoln Ellsworth’s brother-in-law Bernon Prentice offered to chair relief talks, but no alarm is felt and Amundsen’s intended Alaska route from the pole is possible if conditions allow.
