Norfolk, Va., April 26—Asserting that the five-mast schooner Carroll A. Deering was caputred by an oil buring boat resembling a submarine chaser and that the crew was bound without being given a chance to escape, a note found in a bottle says. The note was found off Cape Hatteras.
Parts of the message are almost undecipherable, and two words are unintelligible. The note was found in a bottle by a man north of Hatteras and was turned over to the coast guard station near there. Tlhe note bears no signature.
The Dearing, Captain Wormell of Bosson, and a crew of 12 went around off Hattaras last Janhuary. All sales were set and not a soul was on board when discovered at daybreak. She was set in the quicksand and disappeared.
