Saturday 20 Jul 1844 (p. 2, col. 8) The body of man named James GRAVES, a wood-cutter, from Winster, was on Thursday last found drowned near the landing-place at the Ferry inn, Windermere. The deceased had been missing for nearly a week, and as decomposition had taken place there is every reason to suppose that he had perished about the time he was first missed. The body was in an upright position in the water, and though found almost close to the landing-place his corpse was not discovered until the day above mentioned. ACCIDENT.-A fatal accident occurred a few days ago on board the Grace, of Newcastle, loaded with guano from Africa, by which a young man named FENWICK, belonging to Gateshead, lost his life. When about 40 miles from the Tyne, the deceased fell from the mast, first striking the bulwarks and then going into the sea. The mate of the vessel immediately leaped after him and he was speedily rescued from the water, but the injuries received were so great that he only survived a short time. On Tuesday, a private in the 37th regiment of foot, was drowned whilst bathing at Tynemouth. A number of the soldiers had been bathing at the Short Sands, when McHAY, who was a bad swimmer, ventured out of his depth, and was unable to return. The body had not been found when our account left. McHAY was first seen struggling for his life by the people on the cliff, his comrades appearently [sic] taking little notice of him. He sunk before a boat could be brought round from the haven. A young man named FRY dived several times, but was unable to bring up the body. AWFUL CATASTROPHE.-On Monday week, at the Lime Kilns, near Monkwearmouth, a poor man working at the kilns incautiously went on to one of them whilst burning, to do something that he deemed requisite, when the stone gave way, and he sank down into the burning mass, in which the greater part of his body was engulphed. After remaining in this awful position a short time, death put an end to his sufferings; and a rope having been made fast to the upper part of his body, the mangled corpse was drawn out with difficulty, and the lower part of the body and limbs were found almost reduced to a cinder. The unfortunate man, whose name was BELL, has left a widow and large family to deplore his loss. He was a native of Corbridge, and had been employed in the lime works at Monkwearmouth for about 22 years.
