DROWNING MYSTERY.
SYDNEY HARBOUR TRAGEDY. (Received 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. The body of the second man drowned from a dinghy when it capsized early yesterday morning, has been identified as Jack Delargie. Puzzling features surround the tragedy. Two brothers, Alex and Karl Persson, visited Captain Nordin aboard the Swedish cargo steamer Anten on Monday night, after which the nightwatchman of the Anten rowed them to a wharf, from where they could catch a ferry to the city. Presumably Delargie then picked up the Perssons in his dinghy. Karl Persson told the police that he could not remember what happened after he and his brother were landed by the nightwatchman.
