FATAL ACCIDENTS DURING THE FOG.—On Thursday even-
ing, during the dense fog, Thomas Buchanan, a custom-house
officer, left the ship Esther, in the London Dock eastern basin,
with Capt. Fawley, the master, for the purpose of obtaining
some refreshment, and was proceeding. along the quay, when
he mistook the path, and walked direct into the lock. The cap-
tain, who was a few feet behind him, and heard the splash, with
an exclamation of " Oh, God help me ! help, help ' groped
his way back to the ship for a rope, and was returning with one
of the seamen, when they both walked over the quay wall into
a hollow below, at the side of the dock-yard, and were both so
much injured that they were compelled to seek medical advice.
The sailor fractured his skull, ana is not expected to survive-
A young man, named Brown, who, as he was walking over the
swivel bridge- in New Gravel-lane, had heard the splash, was
admitted into the dock, and in his anxiety to render assistance
also fell into the lock, but was saved by Brown, a customhouse-
officer, who threw some corks attached to a line to him, which
he caught hold of after having twice sunk. All this occurred
in less tame than we have taken in describing it. The body of
Buchanan, who has left a wife and six young children unpro-
vided for, was not found until more than an hour had elapsed.
About the same time two seamen in a boat ran foul of a collier
in Bell Wharf tier, and were both drowned. The fog was so
dense on the river that no object a yard distant could be seen,—
