DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
A distressing and fatal accident befel two persons on Friday last, one a labouring man named Barnet Toole. and his son in law, who, with the wife of the latter, took boat for pleasure on Thursday last for the Heads. After fishing for the better part of the day. the party brought up for the night on South Head Beach, and as the wind had fallen next morning put off again, but not managing the boat judiciously, by a shift of wind or position, the main sail jibed and the boat upset and floated keep uppermost. To the keel the three persons held on, till the old man becoming weakened dropt off, and his son in law striving to save him let go and both sunk together and never appeared more. This took place within view of the young woman who still held on and was finally by drifting of the boat carried alive on shore, but so benumbed and exhausted as to leave her in a very dejected state.
Toole has left a wife and children to deplore his fate. He was a very industrious honest man, and pretty generally known in Sydney.
