A FATAL LIE AP.
Drowning OF Henry Fredriksen.

At three O'Clock last Sunday after
noon, Henry Fredriksen, better
known as "Big Harry" lost his life
while endeavoring to escape from the
"Storm King" lying this side Of Fort
Stevens. Frcdriksen signed the ships
articles last Friday night and was put
aboard the vessel Saturday morning.
During that day and Sunday he ex-
pressed his intention of getting away,
saying he would rather be killed than
go 10 sea, and in the afternoon at the
time mentioned, he rushed to the rail
and sprang into the water. 4 boat
was Immediately lowered, the mate
Crocker threatened the occupants OF
Wm. Humc's boat Nc. 4, toward
whom Fredriksen was swimming, not
to take him on aud thus allow him to
escape; the threat was enforced by
the display of Henry rife. Before
the ships boat could reach him the IN
fortunate man was chilled to death
and with gurgling moan he sank for
ever. His body was not recovered.
