DEATH BY DROWNING
On Wednesday last, as Mr. Richard Glasson VIVIAN, eldest son of Mr. H. A. VIVIAN, of Camborne, was enjoying a pie with some friends at Gwithian, he went into the sea to bathe, when a wave carried him out of sight, to be seen no more alive. His father was present, and narrowly escaped a watery grave in endeavouring to save him. The unfortunate young gentleman only returned from London on Monday last, having just completed his studies, and passed his examination as a surgeon. When our account was sent off, the body had not been found.
