DROWNED <br /> Last Sat. a group of young people were relaxing on a hot summers day near Bay du Vin. Charles HARPER and his friends, Gerald and Kenneth ADAMS, rowed out in a small boat to a larger ship anchored in deep water and spent a few hours there. When a breeze sprang up, the three men took to the rowboat and started for shore. Two were in the boat while Kenneth swam alongside.<br /> The boat capsized and the difficulty was seen by friends on shore. Lyle FOWLIE took a small aluminum rowboat to the rescue. By this time, Kenneth had his brother and Charles HARPER clinging to their upturned boat.<br /> Calamity struck again when the aluminum boat also capsized and all four young men were in the rough water.<br /> Kenneth ADAMS and Lyle FOWLIE were able to swim to shore, but the other two men, Gerald ADAMS and Charles HARPER, both age 20, drowned.<br /> Gerald ADAMS was a bridegroom of nine days.<br /> Source: North Shore Leader - July 23, 1975 <br /> ************************************************************************ <br /> ADAMS, Gerald - The death of Gerald ADAMS, of Black River Bridge, occurred in a double drowning fatality at Bay Side when the boat in which he was sailing capsized.
