On Friday night at a late hour, Archibald BROWN, holding a responsible position in Albert Coal Mines (Albert Co.) by some accident fell over the Ballast Wharf on his way down to the steamboat. He groped his way up to the wharf and endeavoured to climb up the inside of the wharf. In doing so he got jammed in between the logs. For a long time he remained in this situation before assistance could be obtained, the tide gradually making and death coming on him by inches. When his position was discovered it was impossible to get him out and he was drowned in sight of the powerless and horrified spectators. Deceased leaves family.
