In Memoriam
Mrs. James Hearn
Petty Harbour , Dec. 31.-Just before the old year ended, on December 30th Mary Elizabeth, beloved wife of James Hearn, passed into the Great Beyond after a long illness. The regular attendance of Dr. Carter, P.P., and the unceasing visits of Dr. Bennett, helped during these weeks of suffering to relieve the moments when dark shadows crossed the threshold. It was a sad event in the history of the lives of the Hearn family, as well as her own relatives when the deceased crossed the great divide. Formerly Miss Minnie Doyle, she not only her husband to mourn, but five children. There are several other, relatives-two sisters, Mrs. J. P. Duffy and Mrs. Norah Kelly; two brothers, John and William, the latter of the power plant at Petty Harbour. The funeral obsequies took place on New Year's afternoon, and the attendance was a striking tribute to the charitable disposition and kindly qualities of the deceased. Dr. Carter, P.P., officiated at the last rites, and the undertaking arrangements were looked after by N. J. Murphy. To her husband, and family, as well as to all her relatives and numerous friends, we tender our sincere sympathy......
.... And so the time had come ,
When earth called back to earth
Through winter snows.
And thus another enter into rest.
With one Who knows."

Mr. Murphy contacted a heavy chill while working as foreman on the highroads the past summer, which brought on a serious ailment from which he never recovered. During his illness he was never heard to murmur or complain and all that loving hands could do was done for him, but despite all he passed very peacefully away on Sunday, December 22nd., receiving the rites of his Church but two hours before. The funeral took place on Christmas day and was very largely attended the U. S. F. attending in a body, the late Mr. Murphy being a life-long member. Left to mourn his passing are Miss Frances and Matt at home. George of New York, who arrived home just before the end came; and Malcolm of New York; a brother Mr. Archibald Murphy, and a sister, Mrs. Sarah Sinyard, to all of whom sincere sympathy is extended.
Until the day dawn.

May his soul rest in peace.

MRS. JOHN HANN
Wesleyville - A message was received on Saturday night by Mrs. Flora Kean from her brother, Jesse Hann, acquainting her of the fact that her granddaughter, Mrs. John Hann, had passed away during the day, and I was requested to write her obituary. Of her very little can be said that has not already been said, for the news that she had attained her centenary birthday on the 18th day of August last was well ventilated through our daily papers. She was the mother of eleven children, seven daughters and four sons, of whom six are still living, Capt. George Hann, Peter and Charles, Mrs. William Barbour, Mrs. Jacob Blackmore (of New York), and Mrs. Cornelius Winsor of Wesleyville. Shortly after her last child was born deceased lost her husband. He was drowned crossing the ice on an arm of water not far from his home at Cape Freels. She was very closely to her children and stayed with them all through her widowhood, giving them her council and advise. They in turn were most obedient children and most reverently respected their mother. On her centenary birthday which happened to be on a Sunday, the Rev. Hr. Hillier preached a sermon in honor of her old age, and she attended church in person, walking from her house to the church without apparent inconvenience. Hundreds of people all over the shore attended the service and to show their respect for her took up a collection and presented her with a purse of money to commemorate the occasion. She was a Methodist by persuasion and in her younger days took a very active part in church work, and many clergymen will recall the motherly care and attention they received at her home and will never forget the welcome with which she always greeted them on the arrival. The end has come, but not untimely, so far as we are able to judge. We Believe her long life was in large measure due to the fact the she did not worry but was of a pleasant turn of mind, kind in disposition had a good word for every body, lived a good life , consequently every part of the body and mind worked in unison together. That the end should come just on the beginning of a new year seems to me to be very fitting. she has commenced a new year in a new world and has begun a new life, and according to the faith she lived we believe will play her part in the future with the spirits of just men and women made perfect. What that life will be we can only conjecture. We have however, faith in the life Mrs. Hann lived among us here to believe she has gone to meet the "well done" of her master, I am not offering my sympathy to her surviving children on the contrary I offer them my congratulation. To live in the memory of such a mother is something to be thankful for.-A. Kean

AMBROSE FORWARD
Ambrose, son of Delbert and Bertha Forward, died of paralysis in the Hospital at St. John's on Tuesday morning at 4.30, after about 4 months there. He had gone to Labrador with the family in the early summer, hoping that the change might be a benefit to his health, but after a few weeks was compelled to return again to linger and die. He had for a considerable time endured patiently and submissively his long and wearisome sickness, until he passed away, quietly as a little child, and so resigned to his fate, that the end might almost be called a happy one.
Almost the largest funeral we have ever seen on the South side followed the remains of a young man who was greatly respected. The children of the Sunday School, quite a gathering led by the long faithful superintendent, Mr. Robert Frazie, and the teachers, helped to swell the number which filled the church where the writer was requested to address a few words to the congregation and to the relatives and near friends of the departed. "Rock of Ages," "Asleep in Jesus" and "The Morning Flowers," were the appropriate hymns on the occasion. Miss Florrie Taylor, the school teacher, was organist. The minister for the service was Rev. Mr. Burge. Besides his parents, he leaves his two brothers, Cecil and Maxwell and his loving sister Marjoria who certainly miss him for a long time in the quite home. The coffin was very profusely covered with flowers from kind friends, and the snow falling on the coffin, a symbol in a way of the life that had been lived, was beautiful white. We sympathize deeply with the bereaved friends, and would remind them of the inspiring hope of the last verse of the hymn:---
"Let sickness blast and death devour,
If heaven must recompense our pain,
Perish the grass and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remain."

Obituary

JAMES WALSH
After a short illness death came to James Walsh yesterday at the Grace Hospital. The deceased who was but 45 years old had been with the Avalon telephone Co. for the past five years, and before that was at the Dock during the construction and for some years with the firm of J. D. Ryan. He married Miss Healy sister of Mr. Joseph Healy of the Avalon Telephone co., and leaves to mourn besides his wife, one daughter Margaret and 4 sons Patrick at the Avalon Telephone Co.,  Michael with Postal Telegraph, Vincent and Harold at home and 4 brothers, John, Patrick, George and Martin. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2.30 p.m. from his residence, Burke's Square.

Mrs. E. E. ULPH
Mr. S. R. Dawe of the Western Union Telegraph Co. Bay Roberts was advised by cable on Saturday morning of the death of his sister Mrs. E.E. Ulph at St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, where she and her husband resided since the departure from Bay Roberts some four or five years ago. The late Mrs. Ulph was never of robust health but it was hoped her visit to Newfoundland from which she returned less than a year ago had benefited her considerably. the news of her death is therefore a great suprise to family and friends.
Mrs. Ulph was the daughter of Mrs. and the late Capt. Henry Dawe of Bay Roberts. Besides the brother mentioned, she is survived by another who is clerk in charge with the C. P. R. at Canso, N.S. There are seven sisters, one, Mrs. (Rev.) Wright, residing in England, Mrs. Robert Dawe, Mrs. E J Godden of this city, Mrs. J W Dawe and Mrs. Edward Dawe of Bay Roberts and Mrs. W. N. Ford and Mrs. Arthur White, of Heart's Content. There will be much sympathy felt for the mother and family in their bereavement.

UNLIKELY SPECULATION
A correspondent sends the following interesting speculation on whether the tidal wave of November 18th 1929 was caused by a meteor. "When I read in the public message a day or two ago that the cable steamer reported finding the ocean bed covered with lava.  I wondered it a comet or meteor could have cause the earthquake."
There are several people in Freshwater who saw what they said was a comet, dash across the sky to the southeast, just at the very time of the quake. We didn't pay much attention to them, as we though it might have been a shooting star, but next day one of our captains who was at Bay de Verde at the time, came up to Carbonear and said he was looking out to sea, and saw a high comet "with a tail a mile long" dash to the southeast at the very time of the tremor. He said he knew at once what it was, as he saw one in Spain some years ago. We looked up "Meteor" last night and found that their bodies were composed of rocks, iron and other minerals, and their tails of dust, so we were wondering if that one could have struck the ocean bed and caused the earthquake. It would be interesting to hear the opinion of someone who understands these things.

7 Young Folk Drowned during Sleigh Ride on Exploits Run
Bodies of Six Girls and Boy Not Recovered Last Night From Tragedy Of Wednesday-
Thought May gone Though in Steamer's Channel.
When a sleigh crashed through the ice in the Exploits Ships Run somewhere near Point of the Bay, about a dozen miles below Botwood, on Wednesday evening, seven young women and girls were drowned. They were Effie Budgell, S.A. teacher, Phillips Head, ages 25; Doris Pelly, Phillips Head, aged 17, Carrie Baker, Philips Head, aged 20, Chesley, Bessie and Ethel Peckford, children of Edwin Peckford, Point of Bay, ages respectively 18, 16 and 14 years; and Matilda Marsh Point of Bay, aged 11 years.
Up to last evening the bodies had not been found, the presence of a swift current making their recovery a difficult problem. Intimation of the tragedy was received by the Justice Department yesterday from magistrate Fitzgerald, of Grand Falls, who has been notified by Rev. W. J. Woolfrey, of Botwood. Up to midnight last nigh no further word had been received either in the city or by Magistrate Fitzgerald at Grand Falls, but the latter had sent the police constable at Botwood to the scene of the tragedy to report. Point of the Bay lies on the mainland opposite the end f Thwart Island and is the beginning of the Ships Run. In explanation of the disaster, it is possible that a channel cut by one of the late outgoing Anglo-Nfld Development steamers from Botwood, lightly frozen over, but indistinguishable from being firmer surrounding ice once covered with snow, may have proved the treacherous surface which caused the tragedy. Lady Squire, who is the representative for this district, informed the News that she had received no word but had telegraphed for information.

OBITUARY

CAPTAIN PATRICK HICKEY
Harbour  Main, Jan. 19-There passed peacefully away after a very short illness, on the 10th January, a highly respected resident in the person of the late Captain Patrick Hickey. Deceased had reached the ripe age of 81 years, and up to a short while ago had enjoyed his usual perfect health, and was engaged at his ordinary occupation. A malady that at first was considered trivial, however, became more acute and in spite of medical attendance, it made such inroads on his condition that he began to weaken, and on Friday after having received the last rites of the holy church, he passed away. Captain Hickey was one of the "old school" of seamen, now, however, fast disappearing,-the days of "Iron men and wooden ships". In his earlier years he was engaged in the coastal trade, and shore fishery, and later became master of a banking vessel, and for several years made many successful voyages, and to his memory, it may be said that through his fearlessness and good judgement he never met with a serious mishap while engaged at the bank fishery. Of late years he fished on the Labrador, and Hickey's room at Griffin's Harbour  was well known to all along the coast. His many friends at St. John's and in other parts of the country, will be grieved to hear of his passing. The funeral took place on Monday and after solemn requiem Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Dwyer, the funeral cortege wended its way to the cemetery on Harbour  Main ridge, followed by a large concourse of people. Besides his widow, he leaves to mourn two daughters at home, Mrs. P Kennedy (merchant), and Mrs. P. D. Hannon (teacher), and two in the U.S.A., Isabella and Mrs. C. Cunningham, also two sons, Patrick in U.S.A., and Thomas in Canada, to whom the sympathy of the entire community is extended.

Obituary

Mrs. MARY RYAN
With feeling of profound sorrow we chronicle the death of Mrs. Mary Ryan which occurred yesterday afternoon at her late residence, No. 101 Hamilton Street. Only a few weeks ago the deceased lady suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and despite every alleviation that medical aid could employ, and the unremitting care of a loving family and friends, the claim of death was inevitable, and peacefully her soul went forth to eternal rest. Blessed with happy and kindly disposition, the late Mrs. Ryan was universally esteemed and respected. In the different social activities organized in the interests of Church and Charity she was particularly prominent, and her time and assistance were always generously bestowed in behalf of any worthy cause. A sister of the late Hon. E. M. Jackman she at all times evinced a deep interest in matters of public concern, and firm in her views she was fearless in their exposition. In her home and children Mrs. Ryan found perhaps her chief delight, and here her hospitality was proverbial. Her husband, the late James Ryan, predeceased her some nine years ago. Left to mourn their sad loss are five daughters, Mrs. F. J. Armstrong of this city , Mrs. Chas. Peddle (Bell Island), and Mona, Gertrude and Nellie; one son Mr. Samuel J Ryan, and three brothers, Messrs. David Jackman of Bell Island, W. H. Jackman of this city, and F. J. Jackman, Montreal. Rev. Father F. J Jackman of Argentia is a nephew. Of Particular consolation in the fact that Mona, Gertrude, Nellie and Samuel who were residing in New York were able to reach home in time to join the family circle at the death-bed of their beloved mother. The funeral will take place from 101 Hamilton Street at 2.30 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday.

110 YEAR OLD CHAIR FROM HARBOUR GRACE
Mahogany Chair Brought To St. John's From Harbour Grace Yesterday Could Tell of Past Glories It Has Seen.
A resident of the city brought from Harbour Grace yesterday a mahogany Chair 110 years old. From an historical viewpoint this antique is very valuable. It dates back to the days of the late Thomas Ridley, founder of the firm Ridley & Sons of Harbour Grace. The late Thomas ridley was a native of the town of Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, and came to Newfoundland when he started business in Salmon Cove, Bay de Verde district. He removed to Point of Beach, Harbour Grace, where he ran the largest mercantile business in Newfoundland. It is estimated that at one time the Ridley firm had a tuen-over of some million pounds and had the largest fleet of foreign-going vessels, as well as square-rigged ships and schooners which prosecuted the Labrador fishery for years.
The firm brought out to Newfoundland in 1864 the Retriever, a Square rigger ship and the following year the S. S. Mastiff. Both of the ships were commanded in turn by Captain James Murphy, of Catalina, father of Hon. J. J. Murphy. The first year the crew of the Retriever sheared the biggest bill in the history of Newfoundland, three hundred and odd dollars a man.
The firm of Ridley & Son was amongst the introducers of steam in this country seal fishery. In 1870 the firm failed partly, it is claimed, through political intrigue, but notwithstanding the sacrifice of ships, fish and fishing property, the firm paid to their creditors 14 shillings and 8 pence in the pound.
In this historical chair then were seated from time to time some of the men who made history in Harbour Grace, among whom may be mentioned Thomas, Hooper, Power, Coady, Nuttall, Peter Brown and the famous Surregate Garland. This is an antique which, it it could speak, would tell a tale of fortune both fine and cloudy.

IN MEMORIAM
LEIARIE-In loving memory of our dear son and brother, William (Billy) Learie, who died March 23, 1929.
We deeply mourn for you, dear Billy
No one may see us weep,
But many a silent tear is shed
When others lie asleep.
We think of you in silence
When your name we often call,
But there is nothing left to answer
But your photo on the wall.
The midnight stars are shining
On a lone and silent grave
Beneath sleeps one we deeply love
Yet one we could not save.
His many nights and hours of pain
His tollsome days are passed.
His ever patient worn-out frame
Has found sweet rest at last.
You suffered much you murmured not
We Watched you day by day.
Until the last with broken hearts
We saw you pass away.
(Inserted by Fathe , mother, brothers and sisters)

CHARLES EARLE
Change Island:-The death of Charles Earle at Change Islands on Saturday at the age of 75 removed a popular figure in his day.

Late in his teens he went to Rose Blanche in the employ of the Rose firm. After spending some time in Canada he returned to Newfoundland in 1876 and entered the firm of Owen and Earle at Fogo, remaining with the firm when it became that of H. J. Earle, and later Earle, sons & Company until his death. In the early eighties, he married Julia Holden of Toronto, a lady most highly esteemed by all who knew her, who predeceased him in 1924 and made their home at Change Islands. Six children survive, three sons and three daughters. Many months ago Mr. Earle underwent a very serious operation of the jaw. Ever since he had bravely bore the disability of partaking food but his cheerful optimism was never lacking. His passing quiet and peacefull, was deeply regretted by a very large circle of the passing generation.

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Stapleton, Harbour Grace, Loses Life in Dam Near Sawmill
Harbour  Grace, July 18.-On Saturday afternoon, Joseph, the twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Stapleton of Riverhead, left his home about 3.30 to play about with some companions and was last seen at about quarter to four by Mr. Pynn and some men working nearby. The lad with two younger companions went to the pool above the dam near the saw mill just by the railway watering shute and went bathing. Shortly after four the two little companions met Miss Maggie Sullivan, aunt of young Stapleton, and told her he was in the water. An outcry was raised and some men immediately went to the scene and found the lad in the water and promptly got him out but life was found to be extinct, he was taken home and Dr. Strapp was called but nothing could be done. The sad affair cast a gloom over the vicinity and the parents have the deep sympathy of all in the sudden cutting off a promising son. The funeral was held on Monday morning.

OBITUARY

STEPHEN DOYLE
Harbour Main, July 7-there passed peacefully away at Harbour  Main on July 7th an old and respected resident in the person of Stephen Doyle at the ripe age of 81 years; he was one of the old stock of fishermen, who like the white wings are fast passing away. In his younger days he followed the fishery with his father at that time to the westward and the Labrador which he followed for years. Retiring from fishing he took up carpenter work and built many a fine house, he was also a fine boat builder, and wheelwright. Left to mourn are two sisters, Mrs. P.E. Woodford, of Harbour main and Mrs. W. E. Delany, New Jersey, U. S. A. and one son, Denis with whom he resided. R. I. P.

ALOYSIUS FOLEY
It is a sad duty to record the death of a young man in the person of Aloysius Foley, at the early age of twenty-seven years. During the winter his health began to fail, and through with careful nursing and unceasing care he rallied for a time, but his frail constitution was unable to withstand the disease and he passed away on June 30th, fortified by the rites of Holy church from a world of miseries to enter that glorious kingdom where care and sorrow are unknown. As we live so shall we die.  This saying was truly verified in Aloysius Foley's death, for it was peaceful and tranquil as his life. On Tuesday evening the funeral knell sent out its mournful peel over our little settlement and the funeral cortege could be seen wending it way slowly down the hillside to the church of the Sacred Heart. The officers and members of the Holy Name Society, of which the deceased was a member, paid a last tribute of respect by attending the obsequies in processional order. After the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin had been recited in the church for the repose of his soul, the body was conveyed to the little wayside cemetery, when all that was mortal of the young man was consigned to mother earth. He leaves to mourn a loving mother and one brother, James, to whom the writer wishes to extend his sincere sympathy, and trust that time which is the great healer of sorrow will soothe the heartache, which the loss of an unselfish and loving brother can cause.
May his soul rest in peace.

HEROIC GIRL DIES TO SAVE COMPANIONS
Swimming Accident at Ocean Pond Takes Life of Dorothy Winter, of Clarke's Beach-
Angela Hayes, Barely Dragged Backed From Grave, and Her Sister are Rescued.
ENTERED LAKE SOON AFTER HEAVY DINNER-
In a heroic attempt to render assistance to two companions Miss Dorothy Winters, daughter of Mr. William Winter, of Clarke's Beach, lost her life yesterday at Ocean Pond by drowning, and Miss Angela Hayes and her sister were barely resuscitated after their rescue. Sunday last Miss Winter, Misses Hayes (2) of Cupids, Miss Culleton of Bay Roberts and a companion went to Ocean Pond and intended to camp there for a few weeks. Immediately after dinner yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, the Misses Hayes, who are daughters of Mr. John Hayes, of Cupids, donned their bathing suits and went into the pond for a swim, whilst Miss Winter sat on the bank fully clothed. After a short time Miss Winter noticed that the swimmers were in difficulties and were sinking. She grabbed a stick and started to walk out to them holding the stick out in front of her so they could grab it. Suddenly she stepped into an overfall and not being able to swim sank, and did not rise again. An immediate outcry was raised but it took some little time before those within hearing distance realized that a tragedy was imminent. Finally someone ran to a couple of shacks which were occupied by Messrs. Mugford and Ivany, who rushed into the water and rescued both the Hayes girls who were then just under the water. The two half drowned girls were taken into the shacks of Messrs. Mugford and Noseworthy, and first aid was immediately started. The same two men who rescued these girls then started for a boat which they manned and came back to the spot where Miss Winter had sunk. The body was recovered from the bottom and brought to the same shacks are the other two girls. Mr. J. W. Dawe, who has a summer cottage also at this pond, got into his car and when ho got to Mackinson's where the first telephone was, telephoned for doctors. Dr. Pritchard of Bay Roberts started for the scene about 4 o'clock. Dr. Stentaford of Carbonear, who was picnicing in the vicinity was informed and he arrived about 3.30. Dr Cowperthwaite, who was also in the vicinity, arrived a little later.

HOPE ABANDONED AFTER FOUR HOURS
As results of nearly four hours strenuous work it was found that it was impossible to resuscitate Miss Winter, but both Miss Angela Hayes the older sister, and the younger sister, were brought around. Dr. Pritchard on enquiry from the Daily News said that at 11 p.m. yesterday Miss Angela Hayes was still in a very serious condition, but that the younger sister was on the road to complete recovery. Because of the serious condition of the elder sister both sister remained at Ocean Pond. Before 1 a.m. to-day from the name source it was learned that Miss Hayes had just regained consciousness and that there was every hope of her recovery.
All the summer visitors at Ocean Pond did everything in their power to render assistance and from a visitor from the city it was learned that Mrs. Meyers did a yeoman service. In connection with this sad occurrence it was emphasized that the two swimmers had entered the water almost immediately after partaking of a substantial meal
You suffered much you murmured not
We Watched you day by day.
Until the last with broken hearts
We saw you pass away.

LOSES LEG FROM MOTOR ACCIDENT
Woman Crushed Between Cousin's Truck and Light Pole - Rushed to Hospital for Amputation Saturday Night.
STATE DRIVER AT TIME WAS NOT LICENSED
Mrs. Feehan of Colonial Street, is now lying at the General Hospital, having had to have her left leg amputated as a result of an accident when the victim was wedged between a motor van owned by Cousins, Limited, and an electric pole at the corner of King's Road and Prospect Street. Just after 9 o'clock Mrs. Feehan and her sister, were returning home after being down town and going up King's Road, passing Prospect St., the van driven by Walter Long, and in which Frank Norris, Hubert Green and Walter Kennedy, also were going down King's road to turn into Prospect Street. According to the story told to the police the driver of the truck in trying to avoid hitting a man who was passing swerved the truck. As he did so he saw the two women who immediately separated. The driver stated that he attempted to turn the truck into Prospect Street but instead it continued to the corner where there is an electric light pole and Mrs. Feeham was caught between it and the car. Broken glass from the headlight was found in the street afterwards.
Mrs. Feehan was rushed to Dr. Donahue's surgery nearby, who pronounced compound fracture of the leg and ordered her removal to the hospital immediately. She was taken there in Mr. Cyril Cahill's car driven by Hubert Green, a passenger in Cousins van. Amputation of the leg was found necessary and the operation was performed soon afterwards. On enquiry at the hospital this morning it was learned that Mrs. is doing well as could be expected under the circumstances.
It being reported to the police that the regular driver, Frank Morris, was not driving the van at the time, but that Walter Long, who did not possess a driver's licence, was at the wheel, all four occupants were called to the police station yesterday and their statements were taken. The pathetic part of the matter is that Mrs. Feehan is the sole support of a large family, the eldest of whom is fourteen and the accident may be the loss of her ability to support them as she had been so bravely doing a part from the actual injury and inconvenience caused.

On Saturday about 9.30 p.m. George Rogers, of Greenspond, a member of the crew of the schooner Kathleen, Captain Waterman, owned by Arthur Parsons of Carbonear, fell into the water of Barr's Cove, and thought the prompt action of Captain Hounsell suffered nothing but a wet skin.
Mrs. Rogers had walked out on Barr's wharf to where his schooner is lying and stretched out his hand to grasp the rigging. The wharf was in comparative darkness and the schooner was a little further away than he estimated. Overbalancing he fell into the water, grazing his head on the side of the vessel. Captain Hounsell, who was on board, heard the splash and rushing up on deck saw a man in the water. The Captain climbed down the anchor chain and caught Rogers by the hair of the head, holding him till men in a dory rowed to the spot and relived him of his burden. Dr. Jamieson who was telephoned for, arrived shortly afterwards. After a short time the doctor pronounced the victim of immersion all right.

Inspector General Hutchings was notified about 12.30 o'clock and immediately despatched Sergeant Nugent and four policemen in the police car with ropes, lanterns, etc. Mr. J. W. Morris, superintendent of the Nfld Light and Power Company was notified, and after making connections with the power house at Petty Harbour learned that all the men in the neighborhood had gone to the scene, but beyond the fact that a car had gone over the road into the water above the dam and that its tail light was still shining could give no information.
A representative of the Daily News accompanied Mr. Morris to scene of the accident about 3 a.m. and describes what happened.

A motor car apparently skidded off the road at a point near the main dam of the Light & Power Co. and running down a steep bank had brought up in about eight feet of water.

The police arrived at the scene about 1.40 a.m. and the body was taken out of the car at 2.20 a.m. The bank of the river was fenced and the car went through this fence running over a couple of large stones and dived into the water. It was found by the police when the car was a little bit pulled out of the water that the car was in second gear, and they had to kick it out of gear.
About midnight Frank Crocker, son of the waterman of the Light and Power Company, was passing the gate house on foot and saw in the water a tail-light of a motor car and the headlights of the same car shining up through the water. When Mr. Crocker saw this car he went over the bank where the rail was gone, shouted several times and receiving no answer walked down to Whitten's who telephone to the Inspector General of constabulary about 12.30 a.m.
Before the police arrived very little could be done but many of the residents of Petty Harbour immediately went to the scene. When the police arrived with lanterns, ropes etc. They found that a boat was necessary and one was secured. Police constable Mahoney and Brocklehurst got out broke the window in the rear of the car and the left rear window. The body was taken out over the front seat and through the back window.
