QUARTET IN BOAT FEARED DROWNED

   PORTSMOUTH, O., Dec. 26 - Two men, a boy and a girl, believed drowned in the Ohio river 22 miles southwest of here, were being sought today.  The four started across the river from Gand Springs, O., to Vanceburg, Ky., in a skiff just before Wednesday's blizzard struck, and have not been seen since.

Officials conducting the search believed the high wind overturned the boat, and that the occupants were unable to reach shore.  Willard Kennedy and Corbett Porter, addresses undetermined, and an unidentified boy and girl, were in the skiff.

The craft, as well as the occupants, is missing.
