About 9 o'clock Friday morn. 6th inst., four men named Dan. DOYLE of Rocky Bay, Rodk. McDONALD and his brother John McDONALD, Basin River Inhabitants and Joseph LANDRY of Grandique, were engaged in a boat at Rocky Bay, Richmond, C.B., taking ashore their fishing gear and about to return each man to his home. The wind was blowing a strong breeze from the Southeast making the sea very rough. While jibing the sail, the boat upset, casting the occupants into the surging waters. Doyle and the two McDonalds succummed to the waves and were drowned. Landry had locked his arms around the thwarts of the boat and saved himself from sinking, but his rescue was in the nick of time, as he was brought ashore unconscious. Doyle had a few years ago moved from Margaree to Rocky Bay. He leaves a wife and five children. Rodk. McDonald was only married the latter part of last January. Both men were married to sisters. - Halifax Chronicle
