At Cambridge University Lent races, Mr. E. S. Campbell, rowing No. 1 in the Clare crew, was killed by another boat running into his eiiest. The other races were stopped. The deceased was a second-year man, j and a son of tho Rev. W. Campbell, ! M.A., of Uppingham School. An I inquest was held at Fen Ditton, Cambridgeshire, on the body. It j was explained that the boat in which ' deceased sat had made a bump, and : got alongside the bank, to give the followers a free course. The Trinity ■ Hall boat was hotly pursued by ! Emanuel, and the coxswain of the : Hall boat, seeing the danger his i crew were in oi being bumped, | turned on a lot of rudder to give the j pursuers the wash. He said his attention was bo riveted on the rival I boat that he did not look to his left. 1 and did not see the Clare boat until I they had run into it. That was when the deceased was penetrated in the chest by the nose of the Hall boat, causing the right ventricle of his heart to be pierced, and death ensued immediately. Other evidence showed that had the Clare boat not been there, the Trinity boat must have run into the bank. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
