''' November 10, 1960 [The Catalina Islander]:''' “Two Islanders lost at sea. Missing since Sunday and presumed lost at sea are James Gribbon and Jack Neary, both residents of Avalon. The two men left Avalon on Sunday afternoon in a 12-foot outboard powered with a 7-½ horsepower engine, with only  a limited supply of fuel.  Their intention was to fish for two hours and return to Avalon. The Coast Guard instigated an elaborate search program utilizing ships, planes and helicopters, on Sunday evening. This search was carried out on Monday and Tuesday. The Coast Guard search pattern covered an area of several hundred square miles before efforts were cancelled on Wednesday morning. At press time no news of the men's fate had been found.”
