Nen Sunday evening the sad intelligence
reached Mrs. Pusey that her son by Il former

A letter from there to his sisters said he was
drowned on Friday, his body not being
recovered until Sunday. He was captain of
a vessel which was lying off Norfolk at the
time he was drowned. His death is Il mystery
as he was an excellent swimmer and had to
swim for his life on one occasion in bitter
weather. Some one suggested that he walked
overheard in his sleep. but that theory can
hardly hold good As he must have awakened
as soon as he touched the water. He leaves
a wife and five children, all young. He was
not more than thirty-lve years old. We
extend heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved
family and friends.
