FATAL BOAT ACCIDENTS.

[ Mr. A.T.H. Campbell and Mr. Herbert Walter drowned on the Thames near Putney - not transcribed].

Three young men named William Hawkins, boat builder's apprentice, John M'Fee, and Louis Feekins, smacksmen, each aged about 21 years, went out in a sailing boat on Sunday morning from Yarmouth on to the Breydon Water, near the entrance to the Norwich river. A sudden gust of wind upset the boat, and they were all drowned. Hawkins's father was drowned some time ago. M'Fee belonged to Aberdeen, and Feekins to London.
