Description
- Full Text
DROWNED. - A young German named Chas. Switzer was drowned from the barge SHERMAN on Lake Huron, a few days since, while off Southampton. Whilst walking on the railing he slipped and fell overboard, and although all efforts were made to rescue him they were of no avail, and he sank in about 50 fathoms of water. An ordinary life-preserver with a few feet of line would have saved this young man from his untimely end.
