From

Company
Dock
John
R.
Stewart,
25-year
old
Kincolith
native,
was
drowned
at
11:15
Saturday
night
when
he
fell
from
the
British-American
Oil-
Co.'s
wharf
oh
the
Prince
Rupert
waterfront,
apparently
while
attempting
to
board
his
gillnet
boat
Fern
S.
following
a
visit
uptown.
The
tragedy
was
witnessed
by
a
14-year
old
Indian
boy,
Herbert
Clayton,
who
was
on
the
wharf
arid
heard
a
splash
in
the
water
followed
by
a
cry
for
help.
He
looked
over
the
wharfside
and
saw,
in
spite
of
darkness,
a
man
floundering
In
i
the
water.
He
rushed
to
the
float
below
but
was
unable
to
render
aid.
Finally,
the
man
disappeared.
By
this
time
Capt.
Percy
Alexander
of
the
seine-boat
Kamchatka
had
been
called.
Search
at
that
time
proved
ineffectual.
Yesterday
morning
dragging
operations
were
undertaken
at
the
scene
and
at
12.:35
noon
the
-body
of
Stewart
was
recovered.
The
coroner-
was
notified
and
an
inquest
was
called
today.
As
far
as
can
be
learned,
there
was
no
evdience
of
either
foul
;
play
or
drinking.
Stewart
is
a
member
of
a
well
known
native
family
of
Kin-

He
is
survived
by
a
