The tragedy followed a party i on the "King," a vessel owned by fisherman Ronald MVLetid, moored at the floats adjacent toj the Home Oil docks. McLeod j related how at 9 p.m. Friday: night, he had decided to return! to his boat but met a native! oman, Helen Hansen, and the! drinks In a Third Avenue beer parlor. The two left after the a oil nment closed -and, on their way to the vessel, were tilled into the Cow Bay .'hack of Oscar Johnson,' another fisherman. Mrs. Pilfold and John-ton invited the pair into the house for a few drinks ofrum. Previous to this Johnson and Mrs. Pilfold had also been con-.sumln beer on Third Ave. Later, the four visited the "Kini?'' and opened a bottle of wine. McLeod testified no "hard feelings" were felt by anyone but that Mrs. Pilfold arose and fald "I'm going home." McLeod followed the woman to the end of a ramp leading up to the dock and asked her to return. "No, I'm going home,", she said, and further stated that she wanted Johnson to brine her purse which the had forgotten 1 on the vessel. "She was stand - ing at the gangplank when I; 'el L her to return to the boat."' Oscar Johnson, on the other j hand, could not remember be- j ing told by McLeod that the dc- ceased had wanted her purse .and could not recall that he had j taken the purse. In tact, tesli ., hv JiiIiiim was nnt. rlPiir had arrived, questioning had i har, been incchcrcnt. "Ocar came out and walked over," McLeod related, "but I'm not f urc whether they walked l.p the gangplank or stool there. I went back to the bout and talked with Helen lor a little while." Midod said he decided to liMke tea and was just, ready to light a ttius stove, when he heard a splash. He recalled that no one was around and w hen walking up the ramp he met Jolm-mn down. Method asked where Mrs. Pilfold was. It was then that the body was seen floating in the water. The boat of fisherjiiau Nikola Ser heniuk was tied next to the "King" and from Mils vessel, McLeod procured a lifeboat an, I rowed to the body. Kerhetiiiik stated that he had been sleeping quietly but was 'awakened by the splash of the lifeboat, going overboard. McLeod recovered the body and was aided by Serhrniuk In attempting to " revive ' the woman. 1 lie iim- bu,an(,c W!W oaUed uik) the tu- halator squad were also unsuc-(cssful in reviving her. Dr. J. A. MacDonuld, called by Ihe police, pronounced the woman dead at approximately 2.18 a.m. A superficial cxain- inatlon at the morgue, Dr. Mac-Donald slated, showed 110 -murks cf violence and he concluded that death was due to drowning. Johnson's actions preceding the tragedy were not clear but lt appeared the fishermen hud missed Mrs. I'll ford at the end ol the ramp, so he descended to i he dock. He walked in the op poslte direction and, apparently, dropped the purse at a shark at the seaward end of the dock for It. was later recovered by a driver of the Home Oil Com-pany. The woman, probably walking home, alon? the dork, tr.pped and dropped over lulu the water. No screams were heard by anyone and only M Leod had heard the splash.
