Mr. Hugo Croft, of Heysham llall, near Lancas-
ter, left home on Thursday morning to take a walk by the
increased
side of the Lune. Unfortunately he got on a sandbank off Sun-
derland Point, and the tide surrounded him before he
became aware of it, his sight being imperfect. Taking
under his arm a small dog which he had with him, Mr.
Croft endeavoured to cross a channel, but there being a heavy
"fresh" at the time, he was carried away. The dog swam
safely to shore. Some fishermen witnessed the accident, and
instantly rowed to the place where Mr. Croft had disap-
peared, but they were unsuccessful, and up to last evening
the body had not been recovered. Mr. Croft was about 30
years of age.
