DOLGELLY.—Several young girls, unknown to their parents, went to bathe in a most dangerouss part of the river on Tuesday, among whom were two daughters of Mr. Watkin Anwyl. The youngest of the two, named Harriet, aged ten years, got out of her depth, and the other, named Eliza, attempted to get her out, but slipped in herself, and sank. The other children immediately raised an alarm, and assistance was very soon obtained. After very energetic exertions, both children were got out by two men and taken to the house of Mr. W. Jones, carrier. Medical aid was sent for, and through the continual exertions of Drs. Evans and Williams, Williams and Rowland Lloyd, of Dolgelly, and O. Morris, of Barmouth, Harriet was resuscitated, but in the other, life was extinct....
