wus surrounded with bushes These bushes were about twelve or fifteen feet apart. The co'd weather of Monday caused thin

\jJeading to where t! he bo ly was foun d show I that Miss Weeks had wa!ked over a portion

even i

alive on Monday afternoon, between one and two o'clock. She was well and in good spirits at that time. That evening at a i missed her, and upon asking where she was I was informed that she had gone to spend

ithe evening with her sister, Mrs. Miller. I

have since learned that she took tea there. My other two daughters went to the rink at eight that evening, and after their re- turn they asked if Maggie had come back from Mrs. Miller’s. Upon being told that she had not, they went up for her, returning shortly afterw wards with word that she had

home, Phey then began to feel a little un- easy about her, but thought that perhaps

she had decided to spend the night with Mrs. Paton, whose husband is away in England. They did not enquire for

her there that night, but this morning my daughter Alice, in the course ot conversa- tion with Mrs. Paton, elicited the informa- tion that sie did net have any person stay with her oun Mouday night. Maggie’s name was not mentioned then, as we desired to keep the matter as quiet as possible. En- quiries were also made by other parties this torencon. Between one and two this ajter- noon | went up to Mr. Thos, Essory’s to see if she had been there, but fvund that she had not. By this time we had begun to feel very uneasy about her. About half- past three this alternoon I toll my servant man, Joseph Halloran, to harness up the

horse, and we drove out on the ice. We went down ‘‘Cut” Street to the ice, as my _ intention was to drive around the heads of the wharves

until four o'clock, when my son Willie would be disengaged, and able to join in the search. As we were going down ** Cat” Street, 1 told Joseph that Maggie was missing, and instructed him to keep a look- out for foot-prints on the ice This was the tirst time that he had heard that she was missing. As we came near the bushes off Connolly's breastwork, | told him to get out of the sleigh and see if he could find any tracks in that direction. He did so, and, after walking a short distance, turned about and told me that there was a hat there, frozen in the ice. I got out of the sleigh and went over to where the hat was. [ thought that it was my daughter's. Upon pulling it up, Lsaw the appearance of a body in the ice. Lasked Joseph to break the ice about a portion of a shaw! or scarf which was projecting just above the top ice. Hedid this, andthe head of the body became visible. Joseph, myself and Peter Riley, whom I called to assist us, then drew the body out of the water. The body was in an upright position. The hat and fhe portion of the shawl or scarf thut was visible was frozen in the ice. he hat was found alongside the hole. There were some bushes in the ice a short dis- ance away. In the autumn and carly part of the winter, Maggie’s health was poor; but of late she appeared wo be better and much more cheerful. She never attempted to take her life, neither did she threaten to dou so. lieve that she would take her
