in the sound between Mull and Morven to bring home some seaweed for manure... they had incautiously
overloaded the boat... about a mile and a half from the shore, the boat swamped and capsized... Mr McIntyre,
merchant in the village, instantly manned his boat and saved two lives, even the third showed some signs of life
when taken out of the water, but these soon disappeared... The names of the two drowned are John McInnes and
Hugh McGilvray, well-doing young men, who were the principal support of their poor aged parents...
BOY KILLED [01] – Andrew Clark, thirteen years of age, son of Thomas Clark, baker, West Calder, was killed
on Monday morning, near Longford Colliery, under the following circumstances. It appears that when near said

a sharp turn of the road, one of the wheels went over some rubbish by which the cart was overturned, and he
received a severe blow from the edge of the cart, which caused death in twenty minutes after the occurrence.
