FAT.tL BOAT ACCIDENT AT TYNEMOOTIL-011
Monday evening, shortly before dark, a cry was raised by
the few persona then remaiaingon the pier, that a boat had
been capsired and the occupants thrown into the sea. The
boatmen of Mr. Fry sprang into their boats and quickly
pulled to the scene of the disaster, which occurred in the
Mires, close to and near the end of the North Pier. There
they found a boat upside down, and a gentleman clinging
to the bottom of it. Cries came from the pier to tarn the
boat rap, and on doing so they found a lady underneath,
who, it was afterwards found, was the wife of the gentle.
man. They were at once conveyed to the baths on the
sands, and medical aid was sent for. Shortly afterwards
Dr. Matthewson and his assistant arrived, and everything
that human skill could devise was tried in the case of the
lady, but it was of no avail, se she gradually sank and died.
The gentleman, Mr. Millwright, tailor, late of Grepstreet,
Newcastle (who has been staying for some time at Tyne-
month with his family), appeared to be none the worefor
his immersion. It would appear that Dr. Mattlievraen has
been for some time past attending the unfortunate lady
for apoplexy, and he gave it as his opinion that apoplexy
was the muse of death.—Newcastle .Daily Dews.
