Presumably Delargie then picked up the Perssons in his dinghy. Karl Persson told the police he could not remember what happened after he and his brother were landed by the nightwatchman. Alex. Persson, aged about 46, of the Swedish cargo steamer Anton, and another man were drowned, and Karl Persson, aged about 45, was reported to be in a critical condition following his immersion, as a result of the capsize of a dinghy in Sydney harbour early yesterday morning.
