Drowned In Taunton Bay.

NORTH SULLIVAN, April 20 (special)-A
sad accident occurred here last Thursday
forenoon when Capt Eben P. Wooster, d
former resident of Hancock, was drowned
in Taunton bay, between the stone
wharves and the Hancock side.
Capt. Wooster had been living in Wal
than, Mass, for some years, and came
down to see old friends, arriving Wednes-
day. He spent Wednesday night with his
sister, Mrs. j. X. Stratton, at Hancock.
Thursday morning he took fat bottomed
boat and started to row across the river
to visit friends on this side.
About half way across the boat was
overturned. 1t seemed to those who
witnessed the accident from the shore that
one of the rowiocks OF the boat must have
broken, and Capt. Wooster could not con-
troll the boat in the high wind and strong
current.
As soon IS possible boat went out to
the scene OF the accident. Capt. Wooster
had disappeared. His body has not been
recovered.
Capt. Wooster was sixty-eight years of
age. He leaves a wife and two sons, living
in Waltham, Mass. Two sisters live in
Hancock Mrs. Stratton and Mrs. r. Fl.
