FATHER’S TRAGIC DISCOVERY
SON FOUND DROWNED By Telegraph. -i-iitiss association New Plymouth, February 19. Some time on/Friday night Frederick William Harrison, aged 19, fell off a wharf into the harbour. He evidently struck his head on some object and was drowned. His family lives in two different houses, and those in each house thought that he was with the others. Yesterday afternoon a boy fishing from the wharf saw the body and notified a police constable, who sought the assistance of a man working with a boat on the beach. The man rowed out to the body, turned it over and discovered that it was liis own son. There was an extensive bruise on the forehead. It was disclosed that the bov had intended to board a launch lying beside the wharf, and in going down the ladder, probably fell. He could not swim but may have been rendered unconscious by the fall.
