He-told them that he had not, but said that he had seen men's clothes on the bank. A search was made in the creek near ‘where the clothes were lying, with the result that the bodies of the young men were discovered at about 2 p. m. in seven feet of water. Hal-risk body was floating in the creek, but Hill was lying on the bottom doubled up, as though he were the victim of a sudden cramp. At the time the bodies were found the tide was out, so that when the fatality occurred there must have been ten or twelve feet of water at‘ the place where they were swimming. 3°11“ 0f 1116 young men were about twenty-three years of age.

The old cemetery is one of the historic spots of the Province, for underneath its now well kept sur- 11 face lie the remains of many m6" and women who played their part in the laying oi’ the foundation of Charlottetown nd the Province. Rsidents- on t sides of the cemetery are doing’ their part in protecting the sacred enclosure from careless boys and are thus greatly helping the committee in charge. Our citizens of all classes should take greater pride in the preserva- tion of our old historic spots. and this is one of them, and with the recent improvements made one not to be ashamed of. George Harris, who, together with Howard Hill was drowned in Dock Creek near Aiberion on Wed- nesday last, was un only son oi Mrs. George C. Harris, of 570 Rob- le Street. Halifax, N. S. ‘ ' His father, Ex-Controller George F. Harris, his grand father and an infant brother lost their lives in the Halifax explosion, which occurred on December 6th, 1917. The young man was 19 years of age, and, as previously stated, was an undergraduate in the third year of Divinity at King's University, Halifax. He had learned to swim only last summer at the Northwest Arm. Halifax, while his companion, on that fatal day had never done so; but Harris had never become a strong swimmer. It would appear that the young fellow. seeing his companion and friend suffering from a cramp, had bravely gone to his assistance, and fought a losing battle rather than witness his chums deatlrwlthout making an effort to save him.

C. Houston, Coroner, to inquire into the death of Mrs. Michael Croken at Emerald on the afternoon of July 16th beg to report that we heard the evidence of Dr. N. R. Bovyer who examined the body and sever- al who saw the accident and we bc- lieve that death was accidental. Knowing the conditions that ob- tain at Emerald when two or three trains are arriving and departing at the same time we recommend that special provision should be made to protect and direct the travelling public at this station to ensure that passengers get to their trains in safety. We heard the evidence of the Tralnmen who were present at the time uf the accident and are satis- fled that the usual precautions and warnings were given by the ap- proaching train. We were impres- sed with the anxlety and desire of the men w safeguard the public and believe that too much cannot be done to warn people against taking so many unnecessary and thoughtless risks at stations and crossings."
