Tbc Drownipw M Rootbbay,

Our Boothbay correspondent sends the fol-
lowing particulars of the drowning of two
boys at Boothbay Saturday which was briefly
reported by telegraph yesterday:
The boys Freddie Moody, Harry Farnh am
and Tibbetts boy aged respectively g. II and
II years were out sailing in the bay when they
were struck by squall aud their boat cspsized
throwing them all into the water. Ernest
Young, a boy IS, being in weter boat near by
aud seeing them pushed out for the rescue and
succeeded in grasping the Tibbetts boy with a
boat hook Just as he was sinking the third
time. Had he had some one with him he
might have saved the Farnham boy. The
Moody boy was not seen at all. 1t was with
the utmost exertions and presence of mind of
Master Ernest Young that the Tibbetts boy
was resuscitated. The Moody boy was DIR.
Moody's son, the apothecary, and his parents
are almost distracted. 1t seems that these
boys were acting in direct disobedience of
their parents who had just told them to not go
near the water. The Young boy deserves a
medal for his heroism, this being the third
time he has been instrumental in saving life.
The bodies OF the unfortunate boys we're re-
covered Sunday morning.
