FISHERMAN DROWNED.
George kenney Lost off the
Cape Yesterday.
He Was Hauling Travis I'm Fourteen
Foot Punt, which Was swanPed
And Carried Kenney TO
His Death.

George Kenney, man about 50 years
old, was drowned ABOUT one o'clock yes
terday afternoon off Ram Island while
hauling trawls in a punt Sunday night
Kenney and Edward G. Todd left Long
wharf on fishing trip. Todd is an old
man and owned the sloop in which the
trip was made. The travis were set be-
tween the Cane and Ram island, and
about eleven o'clock yesterday morn :.
ing kenney went out four.
teen foot punt to haul some OF them.
There was fresh breeze blowing outside
Yesterday and nasty southeast chop
which made the handling Of the punt a
most difficult and dangerous piece of
work. At noon Kenney returned on board
the sloop and ate slight lunch, and then
set off again In the punt to hawl the rest
Of the travis. The punt was not Mt boat
in which to do this work. She wns loaded
very deep with four trawl tubs. two heavy
shackles which were used as weights to
put on the trawl lines and quite num-
Der of fish. As he left the sloop Kenney
asked Todd to keep near him in the
sloop, so that If anything happened he
might be near enough to help him.
For over an hour Kenney could be seen
by Todd hawling up the travis. The
sloop was kept near by. now running of
for quarter Of a mile or SO, and then
lacking back towards the punt again.
This was done by Todd about u dozen
times. and the last time as he put the
holm over to go about in the sloop he
looked towards the punt and saw kenney
bobbing about In the little boat some
distance away from the sloop. When the
sloop was on her coursestowards the punt
Todd looked again, hut could see nothing
of the. little, boat. In vain Todd tackled
back and forth in the sloop over the
place where Kenney had been hauling
travis, but could see nothing of the
punt, not even an oar, being found. The
sloop reached Long wharf yesterday after
noon about three O'Clock with the sad
news. Inspector Pickett was sent down
to interview Todd from police headqunr-
tiers and learned all about the death of
kenuey.
Ksnney has been seafaring man all
his life. Some years ago he -naFfied n
widow who had several children. and
lived with his family on York STREET He
worked for Alvin Smith on Long wharf
for two years, and Mr.. Smith says he,was
q most industrious, sober and hardwork,
ing man.
Todd, who is quite an old man, was
very much affected by kenney's death.
He said it was most singular thing that
the punt should entirely disappear in the
way 1t did. He said 1t was not u proper
boat to hawl travis in, anyway, and
must have been much overloaded and gone
down very suddenly. He thought 1t might
have been possible that Kenney became
entanqlsd in the trawl lines and was thus
unable to swim and was hauled to the
bot+Opt
