From Times Wire Reports
Rescue teams searched waters near Cape May Point for the body of a Boy Scout who fell off a whale-watching boat.
Rough conditions hampered the search by police and the Coast Guard, but investigators found a piece of clothing on the propeller that might belong to the boy.
Nicholas Johs, 14, of Staten Island, N.Y., fell after he and several other troop members were jumping up and down in the front of the boat in time with the waves, witnesses told police.
