By Associated Press: DAYTONA. Fla.. Feb. S. After a day's outing in tcabreeze and Daytona. Pres't-elcct Harding returned to his stranded houseboat Victoria In Mosquito lagoon Tuesday night to pa-ck hi. bairK.age and bid farewell to the vacation ship. All-effort to pull the Victoria out of the mud failed Tuesday and Mr. Harding decided not to wait longer for her to resume her northward crue. He expects to come ashore Wednosdaj- morning and complete his trip up the coast to St. Augustine by train. The president-elect's return to the houseboat involved many difficulties, the party threading a narrow Jungle trai! and picking a precarious way along a rickety pier to board the launch that took thorn out to the Victoria. The trip furnished a familiar companion piece to Mr. Hardir.K"'s experience last November when he attempted to leave Point Isabel, Tea,s. after similar bad luck had broken up hi? vacation there. Snt-li ltlver Hank. When Mr. Harding came ashore in a launch Monday his party searched the river banks as far north as New .Smyrna, a distance of 20 miles, before they found a safe landing. .Tuesday, howvver, a secr t service man went ?vutlng and discovered a decaying pier Jutting out from a primaeval forest of Palmettoes. almost opposite the point where the Victoria lies. It was there that th." president-elect put out Tuesday night to board the houseboat. The explcmtlons of the secret periiee man '-"lasted until afternoon, his experiences including an encounted with a group of r.e.groes who refused at first to lend hi:n their rowboat because one of them had caught a glimpse of a pistol tucked beneath his belt. It was whispered .'.long the river bank that he was a revenue apent. but he 'inally convinced the owner of the boat to the contrary. Hosts Take Cliargo.
