TERRIBLE BOAT ACCIDENT—SIX LIVES LOST.

[“ Hobart Town Mercury,” October 12th.] Yesterday’s holiday closed with an accident on the river, by which six young persons came to an untimely end. The particulars which we w re enabled to obtain at a late hour last night arc as follows :—Early in the afternoon a party consisting of C. Matthews, second odiccr of the barque Lufra; Frank Hutchinson (a native ot Band, Scotland), an apprentice on board the same vessel ; Frank Sansom, a son of Captain Sansom, of Macquarie street; Miss Nellie Pink, daughter of Mr Pink, of the Salutation Hotel, Liverpool street; Miss Easther, of Launceston ; Misses Louise and Kate Farr, daughters of Mrs Farr, Fitzroy place, and Cecil Farr, son of Mr Thomas Farr, of New Zealand, and grandson of Mrs Farr, Fitzroy place, proceeded to Bellerive in one of the waterman’s boats. They landed on the beach below Kangaroo Bind, and having spent a few pleasant hours took to the boat and sailed up as far as the Bind’, where they went ashore and had tea. At about half-past six o’clock they started for home, in blissful ignorance of the unhappy fate which awaited the majority of their number. When they left a brisk wind from the N.W. was then blowing, and Mr Matthews hoped to tack over to Battery Point, and then pull up to the harbor. He steered, and Instructed Sansom, who held the sheet, to slacken it on the slightest indication ot the gunwale going too low. On reaching about the middle ot the river, a sudden puff of wind struck the sail. Sansom began to slacken, but the sheet fouled, and the boat capsized. The occupants managed with some little difficulty to regain the boat, and held on to one of the sides. The boat was rolling heavily, and Matthews, seeing that it would veer round, and cngulph those who were Holding on, swam to the other side. Finding that lie could not balance the boat alone, lie requested Sansom to assist him, and while the poor fellow was endeavoring to climb over the bout, it rolled over, and every one lost their hold. With the assistance of Matthews and Sansom, both of whom, as well as the young ladies, exhibited great presence of mind, they regained their hold of the boat. The sea did not abate, and the wind catching the boat, caused it to roll more. That action completely exhausted the energies of those holding on. The first to succumb were Frank Sansom and Frank Hutchinson, who fell off together and disappeared. At the same time Miss Easther tell oil', but with the assistance of .Matthews regained her hold. The others also several times let go, and were assisted on again by Matthews. Strength, however, began to fail, and a most agonising period followed. No word was spoken. Encouragement was felt to be vain, and silent prayer closed the last moments of those so shortly betore so lull of life and hope. First Miss Pink, then the Misses Farr and Master Farr relinquished their hold and sank. Miss Easther again also let go her hold, but Matthews swam after her, took her to the boat, and held her by the waist. The two survivors saw boats passing them at a considerable distance off, but it being by this time almost dark their position was unknown. The first to observe them was the master ot the river craft Uncle Tom, then sailing past. The Uncle Tom was laid to, and the master sent his dingy alongside, took Miss Easther oil' to the vessel, and then returned and rescued Matthews, and then conveyed both to town. On inquiries made last evening, wo learned that Miss Easther was in a very precarious state, consequent on her long submersion and exposure. Matthews’ nerves were completely unstrung by the accident, and it was with the utmost difficulty that lie was able to narrate the facts to our reporter. The news spread through the city like wildfire, and great sympathy was felt for the bereaved families. Sansom, one of the drowned, was a fine young fellow of about eighteen years, and deservedly respected by bis companions. He was engaged in the law office of Mr J. S. Dodds. The bravery and presence of mind of Mr Matthews were evidently ot no ordinary description. He did bis utmost to preserve the lives of his companions, but the elements were against him. Had it not been for him Miss Easther would also have been drowned. The master of the Uncle Tom isdeservingof commendation for the promptitude displayed by him in rescuing the survivors, and his after treatment of them. ENGLISH SHIPPING.
