ed on Tuesday of last week, his
friends became alarmed for his safety
and accordingly a thorough search
for the missing man was instituted.

fallen into the water, and being unable
TO help himself, had thus strangled to
death. In his pockets was found the
sum of $S7 20, which is probably all

and was highly esteemed by all who
knew him, and his untimely death
will be deeply lamented by his many
friends and large family which he
leaves behind. His age was about
65 years.
