SAD CASE OF DROWNING.
A Man Named Williams Loses His
Life on His Way Home.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and Observer
Elizabeth City. n. c., May 20
Word reached this city this morning
of the accidental drowning yesterday
afternoon of a man named Williams,
i'm Broad Creek channel in Dare
county, a death that was unusually
sad and untimely under the circum-
stances. Williams, whose first name
could not be obtained, was an en-
ployee of the Ketchum Fish and Fer
tiliZer factory at Broad Creek, and
that morning had been paid his wages
in full and had left his work to visit
his family, who. it is said, were eX-
pecting him. Living at q considerable
distance from the factory he secured
passage on the vessel "BiValve.' His
small row boat was towed by the YES
sci on it's way up the channel.
Arriving at the point where he was
to proceed in the small boat Williams
drew it up close to the vessel; but
on the way it had partially filled with
water: and as he was attempting to
drop into it it lurched and he was
precipitated into the rough, choppy
sea and i'm a moment sank from sight,
not coming to the surface again.
The crew of the Bivalve witnessed
the drowning with horror, and the
vessel put about at once, but too late,
and the only objects recovered were
the boat and his hat, the latter being
taken to his family, who were told
the awful details.
This morning his body had not
been recovered, the strong tide doubt
less having carried it far from the
spot where he sank.
