FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR PUTNEY-BRIDGS/
Sunday evening an accident, which, we regret V) ,
has resulted in the loss of four lives, viz., two Enslei;
two females, occurred on the river Thames, just
Putney-bridge. It appears that about a quarter PA
o'clock, the unfortunate individuals were observed df,
ing down the river in a skiff, on the Middlesex side fl'
stream, and when nearly opposite the Steam-boltlif,
l
close to Putney-bridge, it being nearly dark and it
fast, the boat struck against or came athwart the C;fY
by which a barge was moored, and instantly upset of
the whole of the party were immersed in the wste.'",
almost immediately disappeared. The drags `rend
promptly procured, and every exertion used to "P P
bodies; but full twenty minutes elapsed bef°/
efforts were successful, and then the bodies of lid
men were recovered, and immediately conveYed i
Swan, Fulham, where several surgeons were in, if
dance, but life was then quite extinct. Up to 10'4
ing the bodies of the fealales had not been founcl'hool
one of the sculls being broken in the blade, it is t"
that that might hare led to the accident.
