This is the second death by drowning in the Morrish family within a few months. In the latter part of last year Mr William Morrish, twenty-eight years of age, while on a visit to Auckland, went out in a boat from the Cheltenham beach, and was never heard of again. The boat, however, was washed ashore at Narrow Neck, a mile or two from the beach, the following day. Later. The body of Clarence Morrish was found yesterday morning, washed up on the beach towards Waikanae. An inquest will be held at the morgue this afternoon.
