Here they will find fire in ing sponsored by the Ways and White's Cabin Cruiser Sinks In Hurricane I ALTO Rialto realtor Joseph G. White was notified Tuesday afternoon that his $125,000 cabin cruiser, the "Vado" struck a reef near Kingston, Jamaica, in a late-season hurricane and went to the bottom. White, who bought the 120-foot craft only three months ago in Miami, said that all of the seven-man crew, taking her from New Orleans, to Kingston reached shore safely.

On board at the time was White's brother-in-law, Richard Allen of Los Angeles. According to White, the Vado was only 20 or 30 miles from her destination when she was swept onto the reef Tuesday afternoon. She had been underway from New Orleans for three weeks, he said. The Vado, a twin-diesel yacht, had been reconditioned in 1952. White bought her from Ray Dodge of Miami, boatbuilder and manufacturer of trophies.

White, who resides at 145 S. Sycamore in Rialto, said that he had intended to make the cruise to Kingston, but had been called back to California on urgent business just before she cast off from New Orleans.
