The yacht, named after the own

was designed by the Baglietto ship- ;
yard, Genoa. The cabin is papered
with original 16th century hand
drawn maps of th?r v*frftF\s OIH1

All bathroom fixtures in the
owner's cabin were reportedly de

consider themselves lucky that the
thieves didn't steal the boat as
well.
People stopping at the yacht
basin yesterday reported, "There's
an Italian boat just docked with

Confidence in Getting A&EC
8-Year-Old Girl Believed
Drowned; Boats Drag Sound
Pnoio by jerry S<numa?..icr
Tense with anxiety, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lowe, parents of the missfng 8 year-old Carol Lowe, help
lessly watch as boats draft the waters in front of their home. The Lowes live in the home in Mansfield
Park which until a year ago was operated as a convalescent home. With them is a young son.
Carol Lowe, 8-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest C. Lowe,
Mansfield Park, was presumed
drowned yesterday after she slipped
off a rubber inner tube while play
ing in Boguc Sound.
Dragging operations to recover
the body were in progress at press
time yesterday afternoon, having
started at about 8:40 a.m. Time of
the accident was near 8:30.
According to Kenneth Baum.
commanding officer of Fort Macon
Coast Guard Station, who dispatch
ed four boats on the search, Carol
and her brothers and sisters were
in swimming. Carol was on an in
ner tube and apparently drifted out
from the shore.
Either she became panicky and (
jumped off the tube in an attempt
to get back to shore or fell off. 1
The only witness to the incident '
was a 9-year-old boy, Mr. Baum re
ported. The tide was low at the
time, thus the child could have been
out quite far and still believed she
was in shallow water.
The child's mother was at work
at the Broadway Cafe where she is
a waitress and the father was also
at work. The children were being
looked after by a man who lives at
the Lowe home and was identified
as Jordan Bryan.
Mr. Baum said he was told that
i Bryan had been watching the chil
i drcn but went back into the house
for a few seconds and when he
came out again the girl had dis
appeared. He as well as two men
who were sanding floors at Mitchell
Village, Charles Conway and Tom
Brinklcy, looked for the girl but
couldn't find any trace of her.
Observers said that the Lowe I
children of school age missed the
school bus and therefore decided
to go back home and go swimming.
The Lowes have four children be
sides Carol.
In addition to two boats from
Fort Macon, two boats from the
Swansboro Coast Guard Station,
with Dalton Burrus in charge, were
on the scene. Other privately own
ed outboard boats which could op
erate in shallow water were also
dragging with nets.
Mr. Baum said late yesterday
afternoon that the body probably
would not be located for two or
three days.
Coast Guardsmen from Fort Ma
con participating in dragging op
erations were Chief Donald O. Til
ton, William G. Taylor, William D.
Smith, Billy L. Barbec, James H.
Pittman and Frank D. Anderson.
