everoeso re 00 Daowssn,., .The -0e ve•
go Daily Timeo, of 31100 10th, gives the
partioulars of the 8u(p0eed loss of the
steam launch, Gitano, which left the
above mentioned port en the .morning of
June 0th for Alexandria Bay and has not
been heard of since, Searching parties
have been and are out but have found: no
truce of the missing boat or her Orate of
three persons. The Gitana was 45 feet
long; 7 feet beam and was built to run
on smooth' water. Eler captain was John
17. Blackburn, a brother of Fire, Donald
Carrie, 4th line, Morrie. The paper
above referred. to gives the following
sketch :-Capt. Blaokbern when 'going on
a cruise of this kind has alwaysbean
prompt iji sending a telegram, telling of
hie safe arrival, to his family. The boat
was due at her deetiyation Thursday af-
ternoon but no message cisme, The fam-
ily did not think anything of this, sap.
posing that he had bean delayed, but
when Friday and Saturdeymorning pass,
ed and 00orwas i
w d ecaiv d the
e family
became anxious and telegrams were sent
to all ports along the lake shore between
here and Cape Vincent, but no one had
Men a boat answering the description of
the Gitana, which bad a white hull and
white smokestack. A despatoh was re,
ceivedfrom Gape Vincent Saturday after-
noon saying that a boat answering the
description of the Gitana had passed
there at ten o'clock that morning. This
report, however, proved to be false, for
although the boat which passed thele
looked something like the. Gitana it was
notshe. Telegrams were sent to Fir.
Sloan at Alexandria Bay, he having gone
there by rail, and be replied that he had.
heard nothing of the boat. Organizing a
searching party Mr. Sloan chartered a
steam yacht and started out to investi-
gate. The yaoht cruised along the ahem
in the vicinity of Saokete Harbor and
Oape Vinoent and among the islanbs, but
could learn nothing. Yesterday another
and more thorough search was made but
with the name result. At first it was be-
lieved that the boat ran to the shelter of
BOMB islandto wait for the sea to abate,
but that theory is pow given up as five
days have passed and nothing has been
heard of her. Captain John, E. Bleak -
burn, who was in oomniandof the launch,
was sixty-four years old and lived at 93
West Senega street, with his wife Sgsan
Blackburn. He was an old lake captain
and thoroughly acquainted with all the
inlets and passages on the chain of lakes,
having followed sailing all his life with
the exoeptionof thirteen years when he
was captain of the life saving elation at
this port and where he showed remark-
able bravery, he and his Drew venturing
out into storms and gales to reaene ship-
wrecked sailors when it was thought no
boat could live. Later years he has kept
a boat house 'and -bathing establishment
at the'fogt of West Sixth street. He was
prominent in Masonic oiroles and a man
honored and respected by all who knew•
him. He leaves a wife, two sons and one
daughter. Obief of the lire department,
Robert 0. Blaukburn, and William Black-
burn, of Ohivago, are his sons, and Mrs.
GeorgeRinharde of 115 West Seneca street
his daughter.' There is a theory regard-
ing the loss of the 'launch which same
very, reasonable' and that is that some ac-
oident befell Captain Blackburn, who
would naturally be at the helm. Young
Donnelly had no knowledge of steering a
boat and Engineer Sprague being in at-
tendance at his engine the boat got into
the trough of the sea, rolled over and die•
appeared in an instant. Captain Blaok-
burn, we are informed, was eubjeot io
heart disease and he may have had a sud-
den attack and fallen overboard.
