Chatham 'Advance' - Our Bay du Vin correspondent writes Friday last, Benjamin WILLISTON, a seven year old son of Robert WILLISTON was playing with his brother Thomas WILLISTON on the ice at Eel River, a short distance above the bridge. The little fellows were hauling a handsled, when they broke through the ice. Thomas managed to get out but Benjamin sunk and did not again reach the surface owing to the strong current running. The body was recovered about two hours after the accident.
