CHILD REVEALS RAID ON YACHT; FATHERMISSING Vale Graduate Attacked by Intruders; Wife Is Put Ashore. By United Press STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 10.—A halting, disconnected story of her father and mother having been attacked aboard their cabin cruiser Penguin in Long Island sound, was told by Barbara Collings, 5, when she was found alone today aboard the floating yacht. She said two men, one of them armed with a revolver, had boarded the cruiser and put her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Collings overboard. The mother, Mrs. Lillian Collings, was reported to have reached Oyster Bay, L. I. in a canoe early today. Collings, Yale graduate, and retired business man at 38, was missing. Child Dazed, Excited The child appeared dazed and excited. She was uncertain whether her father had been thrown overboard or sent away in a boat as in the case of her mother. Barbara said she and her parents left here Wednesday on a cruise to Oyster bay, directly across the sound. While they were at anchor, she said, two meh came aboard and demanded to be taken to Norwalk, When Collings questioned them, the child related, one drew a revolver. A struggle followed. Barbara was unable to tell when or where the men left the boat. Bears Battle Signs The Penguin was found to bear evidences of a battle. Cushions were strewn about the cockpit and the deck was stained with blood. Police said they discovered two diamond rings in the slippers of the child. Reports reaching local authorities said Mrs. Collings had told Nassau county police on Long Island that the two men who boarded the Penguin Wednesday midnight claimed they wished to ferry a wounded man across to the Norwalk hospital. She was reported to have said the men forced her husband to leave his anchorage and put' her aboard a vacant yacht, from which she was rescued early today when a fisherman heard her screams. Mrs. Collings also was reported to have said the intruders put her husband out in the yacht’s tender. The skiff of the Penguin was tied to the stern when it was found, however.
