son of Mr.. j. E. Marshall, solicitor, babe
adieu to his many friends In Sklbbereen,
on his departure to South Africa. He

their War1nest wishes for his future wei

At the naval docks, at Haulbowline,
Queenstown, on julie ID, melancholy
accident occurred. Rear Admiral Buck

lSillu. duQ WlSuluS3 W NCO LIZ AeLA ~. ASo
eryoir constructed on the island for re-
ceiying rain water, from which reservoir
the residents on the island are princi-
pally supplied, he was conducted through
the reservoir by John Kenny, foreman la
borer on the island. The reservoir is
covered over, and is divided into several
apartments or tanks by brick partitions;
and Kenny, walking along one Of these
partitions, and the place being rather
dark. it is fsurmised that he aceidently
struck his head against one of the joists
Of the roof and fell down into the tank.
Owing to the situation 1t was some time
before rescue could be effected, and
though but a short time in the water,
Kenny was unconscious when hauled up.
He was removed at once to the Naval
.Hospftal, but all efforts to resuscltate
him were intellectual. The deceased,
who was about 80 years Of age, leaves a
wife. and FIVE children to lament his
death. Fl ",
