On their return with about 400 lb. of fish, while in the channel opposite Mr. Cameron, the boat filled with water and immediately upset. Mr. Fletcher and his wife, sunk to rise no more. The oldest boy succeeded in getting hold of the boat and with the aid of oneof the oars managed to save his brother. He exhibited a degree of self‑possession and heroism seldom manifested by persons of his age.

Six small children, two boys and four girls, of ages 11, 8, 4 and 3 are suddenly deprived of both parents, among strangers and hundreds of miles distant from any of their relations.

The boy informs us his grandfather lives in Warren Co., near Monmouth and that his name is Frank Goddard; that he has two uncles there named Joshua Goddard and John Short.
