FATHER’S TRAGIC DISCOVERY.
SON FOUND BROWNED,
New Plymouth, February 19. Some time o,n Friday night Frederick William Harrison, aged 19, fell off a-wharf into the harbour. He evidently struck his head on some object and was drowned. His family lives in two different houses, and those in each thought that he was with the others. Yesterday afternoon a boy fishing from the wharf saw the. body and notified a police constable, who sought the assistance of a man working with a boat on the beach. The man rowed out to the body, turned it over and discovered that it was his own son. There was an extensive bruise .on the forehead. It was diselosel that the boy had intended to board a launch lying beside the wharf, and in going down tht ladder, probably fell. He could not swim but may have been rendered-unconscious by the fall.
