nine o'clock, an accident, by which one man timed
life, occurred in the river nearly opposite Deptford., under 4ielhis
follow-
ing circumstances :—A sailing barge was coming up the river, with
rather a fresh breeze, whilst a coal barge, manned by the deceased
and another labourer, was drifting down with the tide, both men

cause both the vessels came into violent collision, and the deceased,
Who stood upon the gunwale, was pitched overboard by the con-
cussion, and although every exertion was made to save him when he
rose to the surface, he was carried by the strength of the tide under
the sailing-barge, and was never afterwards seen. Several boats im-
mediately put off from the shore to search for the body, but all their
exertions for its recovery were fruitless, as the tide was running
strong at the time, and must have quickly carried him away from the
spot where he oak.
