PROSPECT FERRY.
A very sad accident occurred here June
18th. Ernest Raynor had come from Mt.
Waldo in his naphtha boat, accompanied by
Will Trip, and after landing Mr. Trip on
the Avery wharf, he went out to moor the
boat. He got into his small boat to come
ashore. 1t was very rough, the boat rolled
badly, and Mr. Raynor was thrown and
started to swim ashore. Mr.. Trip was
watching him all the time and never
thought of any danger when all at once Mr..
Raynor bowed his head and went under.
Mr.. Trip rushed from the wharf to the
shore thinking he would come up and he
would go to his assistance if he could get to
him but Mr.. r. did not rise. Mr.. Trip
waded in as far as he could but could not
locate him. The body was recovered in a
short time. In all probability death was
water in the lungs. No blame is attached
to Mr.. Trip, as he did all he could. Mr..
Raynor was buried from his late home
