up the Mohawk river for a canoe trip.
Mrs. Blanchard remained in the canoe
after her husband and Mr.. Richardson
had landed and padded around while the
men enjoyed a swim. A strong breeze
was blowing and the canoe, naturally,
drifted down stream and out toward the
middle Of the river, which was not very
wide. Both men thought there was no
danger as Mrs. Blanchard was able to
handle the canoe, so Mr.. Blanchard swan
up the river a distance while Mr.. Rich
ardson swan out toward the middle in
the same path as the canoe. Mrs. Rich
ardson tried to persuade Richa rdson to
go back to the shore, but he continued on
until he decided to drift to the opposite
shore along with the canoe. He told Mrs.
Blanchard to sit down in the canoe in or
der to balance it better and then he dis
appeared in the water. He did not ap-
pear again and when Mrs. Blanchard
reached the shore she shouted for her
husband to bring assistance which he
did and in a short time the coroner had
ordered the river to be dragged. The
body was recovered about $50 in the
afternoon. Mr.. Blanchard was stopping
off in Schentady for a visit with friends
before he returned to his home. He
