"Drowned: Yesterday afternoon, as Claude Skidmore, a youth aged about thirteen years, son of Mr. James Skidmore, was skating from the flats opposite Carter’s wharf, at the foot of 13th Street, a freshly-frozen portion of the ice gave way, and he fell into the water. Some of his companions ran out a plank to him, but he failed to get hold of it, and he disappeared. Efforts were at once made to recover the body, and about an hour after it was found under the ice, and carried to his father’s on the Island. The deceased was a fine youth, and his death has cast a gloom over a large circle."
