A sad drowning occurred off Cape Bear, Murray Harbor at noon on Thursday last. A large coal laden boat, owned by Abraham STEWART of Murray Harbor South, was coming from Pictou, N.S. to Murray Harbor when she sprung a leak, became water logged and sank in six and a half fathoms of water about 3/4 of a mile from the shore. Besides the owner there were on board at the time John BRENAN of Murray Harbor South, Miss GLOVER, age 21, d/o David GLOVER of White Sands and Mrs. Edward HABERLIN, age 24, d/o late Andrew BELL of same place. Stewart and Brenan saved themselves by lauching a dory which was on deck, but the two females went down with the ill fated boat. - 'Charlottetown Argus'
