The Loss of a Skiff' and Four Lives.—Broadstairs, Saturday.
Information reached here last evening that the lifeboat skiff the
Champion had been picked up keel uppermost the other side of the Goodwin
Sands, and towed into Dover harbour that day. The skiff was the property
of a man named John Collins, landlord of the "Balmoral Hotel,"
Broadstairs, and on Easter Monday the proprietor, named William Kenny,
Henry Munt, and a boatman named William Ralph, started in the skiff for
Deal, for the purpose of being present at the Dover Review. They reached
Deal all safe, and in the evening embarked for the return journey, but
neither the skiff nor its occupants had been heard of since until the
former was picked up yesterday. The whole of the party are stated to
have been perfectly sober when they embarked, and there is but little
doubt that the boat was upset by one of the many sudden squalls that
were sweeping the Downs on the night of the Review, and the whole of the
men drowned. The boatman Ralph leaves four children totally unprovided
for, and Renny leaves a wife and three children. Collins also leaves a
wife and two children, but Munt was a single man. A reward has been
offered for the recovery of the bodies of the unfortunate men.

BURGLARIES AT RAMSGATE AND BROADSTAIRS.
The High Street establishment of Messrs. J. Fells and Son, grocers, was
burglariously entered late on Wednesday or early on Thursday morning.
The thief obtained access to the premises through a fanlight, and money
and stamps to the value of at least £3 10s were taken. A large quantity
or copper were in the shop, and singularly enough, a number of parcels
of these were left behind by the unknown intruder, who apparently,
ransacked the drawers, found some old keys, and tried the safe. Then he
let himself out by means of the store door, which, being fastened on the
inside, he could easily open. The same enterprising thief, or thieves,
evidently paid a visit to Broadstairs on Thursday night. The "Balmoral
Hotel" was entered by means of a fanlight, and seven bottles of spirits,
three overcoats, a gentleman's and a lady's mackintosh, together with
about 5s. in cash, being stolen. |
