Fatal Boat Accident
(Per Press Association). Blenheim, This Day. A fisherman named Frederick Douglas was drowned in Queen Charlotte's sound. The boat in which he with a companion named Pirro was sailing up the sound capsized. They clung to the upturned boat with a heavy sea running, and a bitterly cold south-easter blowing. After three and a half hours terrible suffering, Douglas' limbs became numbed and he slipped off into thirty fathoms of water. Pirro, exhausted, was rescued half an hour later.
