THREE LIVES LOST ON THE AVON,
(Pee United Phess Association.)
CnaisTCHDBCH, July 20.
At 10.30 a.m. to-day five young men, James M'Grath, William Gullick, Frederick Gullick, Thomas Gullick, and Edward Round, employed at Pusehel's fellmongery at Dallington, endeavoured to cross the Avon in a flat-bottom boat in order to go home, as the flood prevented work at the fellmongery. When in mid-stream the powerful current upset the boat. Some persons on the bank saw the accident, and procuring an ordinary boat went to the rescue. They saved Round aud Thomas Gullick, the others being carried away by the stream and drowned. The police dragged the river for the bodies, and recovered that of Frederick Gullick.
