Two Saved In Great Lakes Sinking; Loudonville Commander is Missing --------------- Captain of Sunken Vessel Made Winter Home in Area -------- Capt. Roland Bryan, who is feared to have gone down with his ship near Charlevoix on Lake Mich- igan, was a winter resident of Loudonville, where he lived with his brother, Ar- nol, operator of Bryan's grocery on Route 9, just north of Menand Rd. Captain Bryan, 49, had been employed by Great Lakes shipping concerns since boy- hood, and had held his cap- taincy more than 20 years. Arnold Bryan today told The Knickerbocker News his brother had piloted several ships of the Bradley concern and had been assigned to the Carl D.
