WOMAN SCATTERS MAN’S ASHES IN SEA
A bunch of flowers dropped in the sea by a young woman off Colwyn Bay marked the conclusion of the obsequies of the lato Mr Arthur Henry Middleton, formerly Inspector-General of Finance for the Egyptian Government, who died last November.
By his instructions the ashes of his cremated body, contained in a casket, were conveyed seawards in a motor-boat at Colwyn Bay during a week-end, and were spread broadcast by the young woman.
The sea had a peculiar fascination for Mr Middleton, who spent hours watching the ebb and flow of the tide.
