The Queenslander (Brisbane) 1 May 1875
Port Dennison
Fatal Accident. —On Thursday evening,
James Darwin, a steady, honest, hardworking
man, who did his best to support a large family
by shooting and selling wild ducks and in other
ways, was drowned close to the jetty steps. Mr.
Bristowe had provided him with a boat and net,
and latterly he had been engaged in fishing. On
Thursday evening he went out and returned
safely with his fish, which he sold in town, and
afterwards had tea with his wife and family. He
then went down to secure his boat and net, and
it is supposed that in hauling in the boat he
slipped off the steps and, not being a good swim
mer, was drowned. Mr. Young, who was on the
jetty at the time, heard a cry and saw Darwin
throw up his arms before sinking for the last
time. In about half an hour the body was re
covered. The members of the Bowen Dramatic
Company will give an entertainment in their
theatre, Dalrymple street, on the 27th instant, in
aid of the wife and family of James Darwin.
