DROWNING OF A BOY IN A FISHING BOAT. A sad accident occurred yesterday morning, by which a boy named Frederick Renner lost his life. The facts of the case appear to bo somewhat as follows : A man named Johnson, n fisherman, left town on Thursday aftornoon in his boat, the Pet, accompanied by a boV about sixteen -v ears of age,' named Frederick Renner, with the intention of fishing off Rangitoto. Upon their arrival on the ground, and not finding any take, they anchored their boat, and went to sleop'in blankets in the foro part of the boat, which was covered in. As our readers will remember, about one o'clock the weathor, became very squally, with thunder and lightning. Johnson's ac::oun of the affiiir is, that about half-past four lie waj awoke by a brilliant llash of lightning, and lookout of the tore peak he at once observed, to his consternation, that the boat was rapidly going down stern foremost. Calling out to the boy, who ;answered, " All right," he instantly mado the best :of his way out, and was only just able to get clear when the boat sank below the surface of the water. The bows, however, seem tc have remained only just covered, probably on account of the air which remained enclosed in the fore-peak; and Johnson managed to support himself by holding on to the note of the boat, which still remained hanging on to her anchor. After an interval of half an lionr his cries were heard by John Beeton (commonly known by the aiubriquot of " Rangitoto Jack), whose house stands upon the beach about fifty yards from where the accident occurred, and Beeton immediately put off in his boat, accompanied by his daughter, and rescued Johnson from his perilous position. Beeton conveyed him to his house, where he was accommodated with dry clothes,and shortly afterwards another boat, called the Mary, which was anchored about half a mile distant, was communicated with, and by their united efforts the Pet was ■ towed ashore and b:iled out, when tho poor lid was discovered dead and rolled up in his blanket as he had lain when asleep. The body w»3 brought up to town by the Mary between nevcn and eight o'clock yesterday evening, and an inquest will bo held upon it on Monday afternoon at two o'clock. The accident was of a most unusual description, and the cause of the swamping of the boat is not knownWe understand that the boy's parents reside in Victoria Quadrant.
