Excerpts from the Herald of
so Years Ago
Four persons drowned in Sank
Lake.-On Sunday afternoon a re-
port was brought in that a sail
boat had capsized in the lake and
four of the occupants drowned,
casting a gloom over our citizens
and creating a painful anxiety
among those who knew members of
their families were in the party.
The report proved to be true, and
the particulars of the sad affair as
gathered from one of the rescued
parties, are as follows:
The boat was Getchell and Hay

Jos. Beach, o Birch Dale; A.

boat was managed by Mr.. Get

about two miles above town and a
quarter of a mile from shore, a
whirlwind suddenly struck the sail,
and although Mr.. Getchell had the
boat under perfect control, with
the sheet in his hand, which he let
go when the squat struck it, the
wind followed it around capsizing
the boat Immediately and throwing
the occupants into the water. Amid

his presence of mind, and by his
assistance and exhortations he sue
ceeded in getting all on the boat,
himself remaining in the water,
when they shouted for help. Their
cries were heard by Frank Yarno,
a lad of 10 summers, son of John
Yarno, who could see them from
where he was, about a mile dis
