One woman and 435 men, forming a line nearly five miles long, fished at Henley-on-Thames in the annual competition for the Geen Cup. Mr VV. Garrad (Freemasons’ Society) won the cup with a catch of nine fish, weighing 3flb. With a premonition of ill news, Mrs Johnston, of Eyemouth, on the day her fisherman son was drowned at sea, sent a telegram of inquiry to the owners and the skipper’s wife. And the last words of the son, on leaving home, had been to his brother, “ Look after the old people, David.”
