         THREE MEN DROWNED - We learn from Capt. McKAY, of Sebewaing,
       that another sad accident occurred on Thursday last, at the
       Sauble fisheries, on the west side of Saginaw Bay, in which
       three men, named AUGUSTUS ANGEL, CHARLES GOURLEY, and WM.
       POLLARD, lost their lives by drowning. They were coming ashore
       in a fishing-boat loaded with goods from the steamer Forest
       Queen. It was blowing a perfect gale at the time, and when
       near the shore the boat was capsized, the tops of her masts
       striking the rail of the vessel commanded by our informant.
       Before assistance could be rendered, they sank to rise no
       more. Great efforts were made to save them, but without avail.
       Search was immediately made for the bodies of the unfortunate
       men, but only that of POLLARD had been recovered up to the
       time Capt. McKAY left the Sauble. MR. GOURLEY was a resident
       of Bay City, where his family now are, and was regarded as a
       good citizen. 
       
       NOTE: the 1860 census of Hampton Twp., Bay county, MI shows
       the widow, LOUISA GOURLEY, and 4 children; Edward, age 8;
       Louisa, age 5; Thomas, age 3 and Ann, who was only 4 months
       old at the time.
