DEATH IN STORM.
THE BISHOP OF WOOLWICH. TRAGEDY ON YACHTING CRUISE. LONDON, July 21. The “Sun-Herald” news agency says that the death from heart failure of the Bishop of Woolwich when the vessel grounded in the Kattegat during a terrific storm was the culminating tragedy in a series of incidents on the summer cruise of the steam yacht Lorna, owned by the Bishop’s brother, Sir Walter Preston, M.P. Danish salvagers, responding to an SOS call, made unsuccessful efforts to refloat the ship. The body of the Bishop was taken to Elsinore aboard a sailing yacht before being shipped to England for burial. (The Right Rev. Arthur Llewellyn Preßton, Bishop Suffragan of Woolwich since 1932, was a son of Mr. Reuben Preston, and was educated at Charterhouse and at University College, Oxford. He took a curacy at St. Mark’s, Plumstead, in 1907,13, and in 1917 became vicar of St. James-the-Great, Bethnal Green. Later he was vicar of St. James, Moore Park, Fulham, and Rural Dean of Lewisham.)
