GALSTON, District Judge.
On or about September 21, 1938, a hurricane of great severity struck along the eastern coast of the United States causing extensive loss of life and destruction of property on land and sea. Following the storm the Ariel, which had sailed from New York on September 13th, to fish for sea scallops, failed to return to port, nor were any survivors ever reported from her. It is believed that the vessel and all on board were lost.
