Faulding, Santa Barbara hotel man and owner of the craft, shot by Jack Morgan, crazed houseboy and seaman. Morgan was later clubbed to death by two deckhands and his body thrown to the sharks … formal murder charges were filed against Robert Horne and George Spernak, young deckhands … These charges, authories unofficially admitted, are intended as a legal formality..."
