WASHED OVERBOARD IN A STORM. THE DEATH OF MR W. ROB. The Fiji Times gives the following particulars of the death by drowning of Me W. Roe, second ollicer of tho Union Steam Ship Company’s ss. Xaviuni, which occurred on Sunday, 25th ultimo, while the voyage from Sydney to SuvaOn tho morning of the 25th the weather, which had been very;uir y, increased to a strong gale with heavy seas, which increased until G p.m. At 133 p.m. the deceased was lost overboard, being washed from the ran, while securing the starboard ash shoot, by a particularly large v/avo. Although every effort was made to save him, tho unfortunate young man was drowned, as, however, ho was fully dressed, with sea boots and oilskins as well, there was little chance from tho start. As the ship was rounded-10, a heavy wave swept over her, which smashed some P or JJ and in one case carried away tho wall of a room opposite a broken port, so great was the Impact oi the water. The ship cruised about for two hours, but did not succeed in incking up any of ibe mebuoys or see any further trace. It was seen from the ship that the unfortunate man did not succeed in reaching any of the buoys, and was lost signt oi before the buoys. The lifeboat was prepared ready for lowering, but owing to the very heavy gale raging and tho labouring of the vessel nothing could be done, and as the man was seen to go down before this It was useless to put the boat out. Mr Roe was only 27 years of age and a native of Sydney, tor some time he was in the Taviunl as t li» r«1 n* a J® * 1893, then sacond mate of the Maori in the seme year, and several times visited Fiji afterwards i tho Taieri. Ho had joined tho Tavium as second mate last July. The mother and sisters of tho deceased reside in Sydney.
