PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April 25.-One OF
the saddest drowning accidents that ever
occurred on Piscataqua river, took place
yesterday. A party Of four, consisting
OF Rose Foster, Ethel Gray, Oscar Tref-
ethen, and Fred Burke, all OF this city,
started up the river in a sail boat, with
the intention of going for May flowers.
In order to pass through the Ports
mouth and Kittery bridge, it was neces-
sary to remove the mast OF the boat, and
before this could be done, the strong cur
rent set the boat against the bridge, and
all four occupants were upset into the
river. Young Trefethen caught hold OF
a spike of the bridge, and succeeded in
getting out of the water. The other
three were not so fortunate, and the
swift running tide swept them through
the bridge, up the river.
Burke tried hard to keep the girls
afioat till help, which was at hand, could
reach them. He became exhausted and
sank. The girls were rescued. Burke
was 70 years old and general favorite.
