The couple had told the police that they went asleep in the boat and awoke to find themselves adrift. Albert PARSONS, a Southend fisherman, and Henry SANDHILL, a Margate waterman, declared that the boat could not have drifted to Margate because at that time the prevailling wind was north-easy and the drift would have been London-wards A fatal accident occurred at Rhydfelin, Pontypridd, on Tuesday.
