the evening of Wednesday at a public-house in the
Strand, with the engineer of the Bee, river steamer.
They stayed together beyond midnight, and heavy rain
coming on the engineer invited them to sleep on board
the Bee, which was moored off the Fox-under-the-Hill
Stairs, outside the Ant steamer. The engineer led the
way, and as Evans was following him, by stepping from
the Ant to the Bee, he fell into the water between them,
zeceased falling in immediately afterwards. Evans clang
‘0 the paddle-box and was saved, but deceaied, being a.
a* o,lod swimmer, swam towards a buoy a hundred yards
eft And just as he was nearing it he disappeared. His
body was not found until nine o'clock on Thursday
