DEATH OF CAPTAIN C. E. BAILEY
A well known yacht captain and brother-in-law of Theodore Krombach of Third avenue and Twenty-fifth street, Charles E. Bailey , died at sea Saturday on board the steam yacht Katoomba, of which he was captain, and which left this port Thursday for a cruise to the West Indies. Captain Bailey's death was due to pneumonia. The Katoomba put in at Savannah, GA, when the body was taken ashore to be forwarded to Brooklyn.

He was at one time chief officer of the steam yacht Electra, superintended the construction of the steam yacht Sagamore, was master of the schooner yacht Brunhilde and for nine years was captain of the old and new Corsairs. His widow and three children survive him.
