Tuesday, June 5, 1928...The Bridgewater Bulletin, Bridgewater, N.S. LUNENBURG, May 30 - Captain C. Iverson, of the firm of Robin, Jones & Whitman, Lunenburg, this morning received the following message from Captain Barkhouse, S.S. Arras, via Chebuctou Head, and dated May 30: "Jerry Cleveland, of Blandford, N.S., lost overboard last night from schooner "Bluenose" and drowned. Accident occurred off Canso. Arras and dories from schooner searched but failed to find Cleveland. The young man thus mentioned, who belonged to Blandford, was married only a year ago. Details of the drowning were learned this afternoon, when the Bluenose arrived in her home port. The S.S. Arras was towing the schooner from Port Hawkesbury. When outside of Canso the parcelling of the tow-line became loosened. Cleveland and two other men went forward to adjust the trouble, which necessitated Cleveland stepping out over the bow. He was standing on one of the headstays, with his arm hooked over the rail, when the vessel suddenly dipped, causing him to lose his balance and to be thrown into the water. For a minute or two he was seen floating, when he suddenly disappeared and did not come again to the surface. A dory was immediately put out, but when it reached the spot all that could be found was the man's hat. Besides his wife he is survived by his parents, two brothers, and two sister, all residing at Blandford.
