ACCIDENT ON THE MFER AT BLACKFRIA RS
BRIDGE-THREE 1,11/ S LOST

with considerable p,ril to fdur other.r, w,.0 were saved,
occurred at Blackfriars-bridge. A hoot wa,r coming down
the river, on the south side, with 7 persons in it—three
young men and four females—and making for the stairs
on the west side of the bridge. The tide was running
down strongly, and they were unable t, turn the r.oat to
towards the stairs, but ,sere earned bey. nd by the force
of the current, and then the boat etruck with great
force against the pier of the bridge. A panic here
seized all the party—the female. shrieked for help, and
ali rushed towards the end of the boat nearest the
stairs, wi!li the desire of effecting their escape.
The consequence of this was to overload the boat
at that end, which caused ft to overturn, and the whole
patty were thrown into the water. The piercing
cries instantly raised for help attracted the atten-
tion of Witt. l'Anson, City police constable No. 375, who
war at the foot of the bridge at the time, and he saw the
boat bottom uppermost, with several persons clinging to
it, and screaming for assistance. Re ran to the opposite
side of the road, where he met with his sergeant, John
Freeman, told him of it, and then at once proceeded to
the pier to obtain the boat and drags of the Royal Hu-
mane Society. In the meantime several boats put offfrom
the stairs, and rescued the three young men and a young
woman, but the boat then went down, carrying with it
the other three young women, who never rose again
The society's boat, with their drags, had now come u;t,
and commenced dragging for them,but up to the time this
was written without effect. The three young men were
taken to a public-house, and, by administering some sti-
mulants, were soon in a fit state to be conveyed home in
a cab to Holborn. The young woman saved, who was
almost in a d rowning state, was taken to the receiving house
—the Jacob's-well, in upper Ground-street ; dry clothes
were given to her, and she was put to bed. At 8 o':ilock,
about midway between Blackfriars and S mthwark-
bridge, the men succeeded with the drags in laying hold
of the boat ; some sculls belonging to it were also picked
up. The boat had been hired at Blackfriars-bridge from
a person named Lewis, the party expressing their inten-
tion to go to Battersea, and it ought to have returned at
an earlier hour.
