AT FULL SPEED.
ALL SEATED IN THE STERN.
FIFTH BODY RECOVERED.
(By Telegraph.—(Press Association.)
FOXTON, this day. The body of Mrs. Henricksen w«s recovered this morning. It is understood .that when the submerged snag was struck the launch was travelling at full speed, this fact accounting for the fact that the bottom of the boat was ripped out.
At the time of the accident the members of the party were all seated in the stern and they were thrown into a depth of 12ft of water at a distance of 20 yards from the shore.
When Mr. Neville regained the launch, which was partly submerged on the snag, he succeeded in resuscitating his wife.
