A boating accident occurred at Port Elliott (South Australia) by which three men, named Trigg, a builder, Charles Holden, a coachman, and James Sallow, and a youth, the son of Page, a printer, of Adelaide, were drowned —two others were rescued. The boat was capsized by a squall not far from the jetty. Trigg sank immediately, not being able to swim, and a youth, named Knight, one of those saved, acted nobly in trying to save others. He gave up an oar he had hold of td another, and tried to keep the lad Page up, but 1 without avail. ' ' '
