which barely rested on the edge of the boat
slipped, and one end of it fell downWards, car
rying Mrs. Lyons and the young man with il
and precipitating them into the water. The
young man caught hold of something on the
side of the boat and saved himself, and Mrs
Lyon attempted to take hold of his clothing, bu
being shaken off fell into the water
The steamer Commercial blowing of waste
steam at this moment from a valve near thu
paddle-wheels, partially hid the unfortunate
lady from view, and before assistance could b'
extended to her she was drowned: The youn'
man was rescued. The body of Mrs. Lyons wa
recovered about one and half hour after thu
sad occurrence and taken to the COroner's under
