EVIDENCE OF TRAGEDY. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Algiers, December 12. An empty rubber boat which was washed ashore has been identified as the equipment of the French-Algiers-Marscilles mail plane brought down in the Mediterranean by engine trouble on December 9. The crew wirelessed stating they had as a precaution ripped the canvas off the wings to prevent the plane’s destruction in the rough sea. This was their last word. Ropes attached to the boat indicated they had tied themselves in, but the storm washed them out.
