Little Sandy ALLAN, the bright 5 year old s/o Mr. and Mrs. Walter ALLAN, met a watery grave. This had been feared since he wandered away from home at Carleton last Saturday morn., but nothing could be established to prove it. Yesterday, however, the sad fact was proven by the finding of the little fellow's body on the banks of Long Island, Kennebecasis (Kings Co.). David RODGERSON was rowing across the Kennebecasis from Drury Cove to his home on Long Island and as he was rowing close to the Long Island shore, he saw a boy's body being tossed about among the rocks on the beach. A blouse covered the upper part of the body and the sleeve had been rolled back, showing the lads arm. Mr. Rodgerson had read in the papers of the disappearance of Sandy Allan and concluded the remains were those of the boy. He hastened across to Millidgeville again and told of what he had seen. J. TOBIN of Millidgeville at once drove into the city and informed Mr. Allan. Yesterday afternoon W.C.R. ALLAN, Thos. ADAMS, J.C. MILES and the young man Rodgerson, who found the body, started from Indiantown in Mr. Millidge's steam launcj "Polymorphian" for Long Island which they reached about 5:30 o'clock. The body was in the same position Mr. Rodgerson left it and was immediately recognized as that of young Allan. It was tenderly lifted into the launch and about 8 o'clock last eve. the party reached Indiantown; whence the remains were driven to Mr. Allan's residence at Carleton. Mr. Allan communicated with Coroner Fairweather of Rothesay before the body was removed and received permission from him to take it home. It is unlikely that an enquiry will be held. The young fellow was playing about his home last Saturday morn. with a number of other young children and left them and crossed in the ferry boat to the city. He in some way got on board one of the street cars and went to Indiantown where he mistook the "Clinton" or the Carleton boat and went on board her. Everyone on the "Clinton" remembers having seen the little fellow, but no one seems to have paid any particular attention to him. He must have fallen off the boat about opposite where he was found. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
