Wednesday a distressing occurrence took place at the
Basin of the Crinan Canal. Three young ladies went into a boat
and upset it. One of them was soon taken out without injury;
the other two were fifteen minutes in the water. A surgeon ar-
rived from Lockelphead, and adopted the usual means for the re-
storation of suspended animation. One of the young ladles re-
covered; but the other, an interesting girl from Glasgow, seven-
teen years of age, baffled surgical skill, and remained a lifeless
corpse.
