"Among those present were: Miss N. Joseph, Mesars, J. Edgar, A. Edgar. S. Edgar, A. Gubbay,, J. Landau, B. Greenbers. E. Shekery. and P. Chessex.

The body of the deceased was recovered from the "harbour near the Asiatic Petroleum Company. North Point, after being in the water for four days.

It will be recalled that on Tues- day last a distressing tragedy oc- curred when the deceased was re- urning home from the Gloucester Hote, where he was employed as the leader of the Gloucester Trio.

When the launch reached the

middle of the harbour he was seen leave his seat suddenly and at- temps to climb the railing to leap Into the water. passenger rush- ed up to stop the deceased, and a brief struggle took place. Deceased shook the other person off, then leaped over the railings.
