SINGULAR DEATH EY DROWNING.—RAXIIGATE,
MONDAY.—This afternoon, Mr. W. H. Rya owner,
Crown sn inquest et the rown Jug, Dampen, in the
parish of St. Peter's. near Ramsgate, on the body of • gentle-
man named Mark Black, who had been staying at Dumpton-
hall, the residence of the widow of the late Rev. Murdock
Daniell, and who was drowned whilst bathing under very sin-
gular circumstances. It appeared from the evidence adduced,
that on Saturday morning the deceased, who is a good
swimmer, was bathing at lAimpton-bay, a. were also a
number of others. He was observed by a cceatguardman
named Jobs Bennie to swim out soon 70 yards, when
suddenly he disappeared under the water, and came up back
foreman. Beaman at first thought the deceased wee
dialog, but he afterwards came to the conclusion that be
was drowning. He therefore went from the cliff (where he
was standing) on to the beach, raised an alarm, and
naked if there was no one who would go to
the assistance of the deceased, but no one could
be foand who would do so. Pauline Penn
the professional swimmer of Ramegate, was among
the bather., but he declined to go to deceased, saying he
was short of breath, and that the current was too strong.
The coastguardnuin said he should have gone but he as. no
swimmer. After some time the body floated near smash to
the shore for it to be dragged in by a young man without
going out of his depth. Attempts were then made to restore
animation, but without avail. Mr. Lang, surgeon, of Broad-
stain, said he bad heard the evidence, and was of opinion
that if the deceased had had power to make any effort he
might have saved himself. as he could scarcely have bees oat
of his depth ; but it was probable that he wee seized with
collapse of the heart, which caused him to lose all power,
and hence it was that be lost his life. Some conversation
then took place as to the conduct of Pearce, the swimmer, in
refusing to go to the deceased, in the nurse of which Mr.
C. F. Dowsett, of Gloucester-place, Regent's-park, a visitor
to Ramage* raid Pearce not only declined to go himself,
but also prevented others going by saying the current was
too strong. The coroner said they could not go into that
matter, but of coarse the public would form their own
opinion with regard to Pearce's (*.duct. Sufficient evidence
having hen adduced to prove the cause of the death of the
deceased, the coroner summed up. and the jury returned a
verdict of "Accidentally drowned,"
