cuers Thrown Into tho Water.
TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 15.-A sad drown.
ing accident occurred this evening on the
bay at the foot of York street. A party of
boys were there skat ing i'm the slip. The
ice was safe enough until they got 100
yards outside tho slip, where II became
thin and dangerous. A lad named Owens
went through. A comrade named Coombs
went to his aid md went after him. A
third tried to help with the same result.
a fourth got pole and approached more
cautiously, but the boys behind him
crowded OH the thin ice and 1t cracked
and the fourth went in. Thanks to the
pole he got out without great difficulty.
The two boys who nrst fell In, Owens and
Coombs, were beyond aid BY this time.
A boathouse keeper named Akroyd was
OH the spot in few minutes with q boat
and he and others succeeded in getting
the first body, that of Owens. in about 20
minutes. Life, however was quite extinct.
The second body was secured 10 minutes
later. As twas being taken ashore sec
ond accident occurred which might have
easily been far worse than tho first. The
body was taken to tho quarters of the To-
ronto Canoe club. In front OF the club
house Is loosely attached platform
termed an "apron." As the boat came in
number of persons stepped on the plat
form, among them Police Constable Re.
burn, who reached forward for the body Of
Coombs.
just as the body was placed in his arms
the platform gave way and score of peo-
PIE were plunged into the icy water, which
is about 20 feet deep here. Reburn was
shot out over the boat with his burden in
his arms. The boat was upset and the oc.
cupants dangerously entangled with it.
For few seconds II looked as il many of
the struggling crowd must drown.
Fortunately those on shore preserved
their presence of mind. The unfortuna,es
were quickly handed out of the water,
though not before some OF them had gone
down for the second time. p. {. Reburn
supported the dead body of Coombs until
he was exhausted, and then II slipped from
his grasp. He was himself handed out al.
most dead. Coombs' body could not sub.
sequcntly be recovered. Two other boys
who had been seen on the platform with
the crowd were missed when the rest were
pulled out and IL is feared they were
drowned. They were not known, however,
and the bodies could not he found.
