ACCIDENTAL DROWNING
DUNEDIN WOMAN’S DEATH. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Dunedin, October 8. At the inquest into the death of Catherine Willis Begg, whose death occurred near Lawyer’s Head on October 1, a verdict of accidental drowning was returned. The evidence showed that deceased was an official collector for the natural history section of the National Museum of Wales, and was in the habit of collecting specimens from rocks and pools along the coast. She was unacquainted with this coast, where there are many kelp-covered rocks accessible at low tide, but washed by the breakers, and the indications were that she was swept from one of these. Her shoes indicated that she had slipped.
