ney left the ladies and made his way
out to the end of the pier. He had
been gone some time when his sister
noticed the ifeboat. She drew her
companions attention to it and they
watched it with listless interest Mrs.
McKnew said the men were probably
practcing, which they did regularly,
and remarked casually that 1t seemed
hard work.
They had some luncheon for their
escort and were looking about for
some one whom they could send for
him. At this moment the sister saw
boy carrying her brothers hat. The
cruel truth flashed upon her mind in
an instant and she shrieked in anguish.
She was led away from the scene by
gentle hands and everything possible
was done to assuage her grief.
From the manner in which young
Wigney fell some spectators formed
the opinion that his death was inten-
tional, not accidental. Persons on the
spot disprove this, and the relatives of
the dead man scout the idea. He
father died at Cnrstmastime, and a
grleved over these occurrences, but
there were no signs of an unbalanced
mind.

William F. Burke, an ex-Deputy Su

at the home of his parents at 33S Oak

a short time a wave struck the pier,
and breaking over it wet us all. Mr..
Wigney took off his coat and spread it
out to dry. A general conversation
then sprung up among US He had
book in his hand and handed it to me,
saying he had read it. 1 was sitting
OH the extreme end of the pier at this
time, and he was standing above me
with his right foot elevated upon the
pipe. He asked, DO you like to
read?' AS I looked up to reply L saw
him lose his balance and fall into the
sea.
He seemed dazed when he came to
the surface, and although we threw
him a rope he made no effort to grasp
it. When 1 saw we could not save him
I ran to the life-saving station and the
boat was launched. The men picked
up the hat of the drowned man, but
saw no trace of him. He was a
stranger to me. He was well dressed
and hardly looked over Is years of

Decedent was 20 years old. He was
at one time employed as clerk by
Mack & Co., wholesale druggists.
After that he served in a clerical ca
pacity in a lumber yard. He has been
out of work some weeks. He was a
member of Alameda Boat Club, hav-
ing joined recently. His mother and
three sisters survive him.
The day was an ideal one for pleas
ure-seeking, and the beach was
thronged. Children frolicked about in
the foam-girt sea, little thinking how
pitiless the great body of water was TO
persons who were at it's mercy. An
hour after the accident the crowds had
changed so thoroughly that few knew
of the tragedy which had made
house of mourning across the bay.
