PAUL'S WHARF REGATTA.—LAMENTABLE
OCCURRENCE.
This regatta yesterday amongst landsmen, in four-oared
cutters, was unfortunately put an end to by a very lament..
able occurrence. The competitors in the first heat had
rowed, and the three boats engaged in the second were in
the heat of the race, when, in rounding at Southwark-bridge,
blue, manned by Peacock, J. Hawkins, K. Morris, IL Rol..
loway, and J. Adams, touched another boat in advance of
them, and went athwart one of the piers of the bridge. The
boat immediately upset, and the whole party were immersed
in the water. Every assistance was immediately afforded,
and four of the rowers were rescued, but Hawkins met
watery grave. The managers immediately stopped the
race, and discharged the band of musicians, and it was ar.
ranged, with one accord, that the whole of the money which
had been subseribed to be rowed for should be given to the
widow of the unfortunate deceased, who has two young
children, and bears strong indications of being encitnte. The
lamentable occurrence created a very considerable Beneath:Ml
in the neighbourhood.
