 Coonan has been fishing this sum- mer with the crew of Chester Wor- thington and yesterday moning early they made Q haul near Anita Bay and then ran In and went to anchor. Coonan with three shipmates got in a small row boat and started for the shore. A bad sea was running and the boat started to take water. Coon an, who was rowing got excited and wave that half filled the boat came on and he stood up and caused the boat to capsize. throwing them all in the water. Two of the men swan to the shore and one held on to the overturned boat and called for help, bis cries being heard by Worthington on tho launch, who put out in a sein shiff and rescued him and seeing the othe rtwo men on the shore immed- lately rowed ashore and asked the men where Harry was and when he could not be found they started to search for him and his body was found in about ten feet Of water near where the boat had turned over. The body was fished out but all efforts to bring him too failed, so the boat came to town.

He then went ashore and started up to the falls to get a pail of water and was looking all around for Jossila when he saw his hat Nnoating upside down on the water and on closer examination dis covered the body lying in about three and O half feet of water.
