lerra Maw DROWNED.—A fatal accident occurred
an gawky at the New Passage, near Bristol. Five men
named George Davey. John Bromley, John Guinan. John
Pocock, and Charles Copp all carpenters in the employ of
Mr. Rowland Brotherhood. contractor, and engaged on the
bridge of the Bristol and South Wales Union Hallway,
crossed the Severn in a mailing boat to meet some
fellow-workmen on the Chepstow side. On their
way they obtained the assistance of Thomas Price,
a seaman on board a vessel lying at anchor near the
bridge, who steered them saf across the river. On their
arrival at Chepstow they found that their companions had
erased the Severn byway of the old paaags at Anat. The
six men, after partaking of some refreshment, set sail for
the return voyage, sod all proceeded well until they came
to the mouth of Chepstow River. when the wind had in-
craned to a gale. Price, the steersman, reefed sail, and
put back into the river, and endeavoured to per-
suade the men to remain until Monday morning, or until
the gale hadiabited. Davey, however, would not assent to
this proposal, and, having insisted on taking the helm from
Price, turned the boat's head, at the mine time unroofing
the sails. Tney had made the passage about half-way awns
the Severn, when they were caught in • tremendous squall,
between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the boat
immediately capsized, and five out of the six on board
were drowned, Price being the only one saved. His
escape was somewhat singular. He clung by his little
finger to the stern of the boat for some time, and wee at I
length washed oo to the sands. After the gale had abated
the wife of one of the workmen saw hie figure, and baring
given an alarm, Mr. Parnell, of the Passage Hotel, pro-
ceeded to the beach, with a powerful telescope, and at one
recognised the object as the man Price. A boat was ill-
medutely put off to his assistance, and he was rescued after
having been in the water for nearly two hours. All the
deceased were unmarried men, with the exception of Davey,
who has left • widow and two children. _ _ .
