BURY VICTIM OF SEA TRAGEDY AT THE HAWK Body Rests Within Sound Of Breakers That Brought Death Villagers Turn Out To Honor Memory of PATRICK PITMAN Who Met Death In Raging Surf YARMOUTH, March 18 - Victim of the surf of Might Bay, at The Hawk, Cape Sable Island, which overwhelmed him after his frail fishermen's dory has defied the wind and waves in a 75-mile battle to land, PATRICK PITMAN, 30, member of the crew of the Gloucester trawler Raymonde, and a native of Norristown, Newfoundland, was laid to rest Wednesday in Evergreen cemetery, within sound of the very breakers which had caused his death. Borne from Atlantic Hall by villagers of The Hawk, who like himself wrest their livelihood from the sea, the body of the young man was committed to burial by Licentiate Max Smeltzer, of the small village on the shore. Evergreen cemetery, located far out on the shoreline, stands within the sound of the booming surf which all day long sings a Requiem to those who have passed. Thus was the final chapter written in the life of the Newfoundland seaman who, coming of seafaring stock, moved early to Gloucester and who, although but 30 years of age, established a most favorable reputation as a fisherman of ability and courage. A peculiar circumstances of the tragedy was revealed today when dispatches from Gloucester told that the fatal voyage which brought Pitman to his death, amid the snarling surf of this rock-bound Nova Scotia coast was the first voyage which he had made on the Raymonde. He had only lately joined this craft.
