THINK TUG CREW LOST

Beafaring Men Feared Boat Was Too Tiny For Ocean Trip. Seattle, July 9.—The nineteen ton tug Grayling, which sailed from Seattle for Panama and has not been heard from since she was sighted early in June off Cape Blanco, Ore., is believed to have been lost with her crew of three men under command of Captain A. A. Moore. The tug was sold to a firm of Panama canal contractors. It required a long time to man the boat, for seafaring men said the tiny steamer could not make the voyage.
