A sad accident occurred on the Hawkesbury yesterday evening. Richard Wall, a farmer, with two daughters, was returning from Windsor in a boat and were caught in a squall at full reach. The boat upset and all three were drowned. The bodies were found this morning; those of the father and younger daughter being clasped together.
Aged 14 years
