THE NASSAU GUARDIAN
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1873
With reference to the recent heart-rending occurrence at Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera, reported in Wednesday's issue, we have since learned that after the bodies of Mr. Edgar Minns, Miss Clara Minns, and Miss Mary Maura had been recovered from the water by Mr. Simeon Micklewhite, master of the schooner Unicorn, and the boatmen, every effort was made by Dr. C. B. Sweeting, aided by the Rev. Alfred Osborne, to restore them to animation, but without success. They were then conveyed to Mr. Osborne's residence and placed in coffins. An inquest was held by Mr. T. G. N. Bethel, the jury returning a verdict of "Accidentally drowned."
On the arrival of the three corpses at this city on Wednesday, the distressing scene at the houses of their relatives may be better imagined than described. They were all buried in St. Matthew's Churchyard the same evening, the Funeral Service being read by the Rev. Messers Saunders and Osborne, amidst great lamentation.
The respect shown for the deceased by Mr. Osborne and others has been duly appreciated by their sorrowing friends, and we only regret that our worth Bishop should have had cause to address the following letter to us on the extraordinary charge made by the master of the Unicorn for the recovery of the bodies from the sea and bringing them to Nassau. We have since heard however that the bill has been reduced to £7.
