MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT
Distressing intelligence reached Graham’s Town on Friday last of the death by accident of the Rev. W.E. PHILIP (son of the Rev. Dr. PHILIP), Missionary at Hankey, and of a fine boy, about 12 years of age, eldest son of J. FAIRBAIRN Esq, editor and proprietor of the Commercial Advertiser. It appears that the latter, who was remarkable for great precosity of intellect, had accompanied his grandfather, Dr. PHILIP, on his visit to the Missionary Stations along this frontier, and on which he is now engaged, and had been left with his uncle at Hankey there to await his return. The full particulars of the subsequent catastrophe are not given – but as far as is known it appears that deceased were in a boat or punt on the Gamtoos River, that this capsized, and that both were drowned. No person seems to have witnessed the accident, and much therefore is left to conjecture. All that we have heard is to the effect that the bodies were found fast locked together. Mr. PHILIP was deservedly popular, not merely on the Missionary Institution, but throughout the country for many miles around it. He had been bred to the medical profession, and in that capacity had acquired great celebrity. He was distinguished also for his exertions in raising the people on the Institution in the scale of civilisation, and in promoting their temporal comfort; as an instance of which it may be stated that it was under his immediate direction that a tunnel through the spur of a mountain adjacent to the station has been constructed for the purpose of leading the water of the river over the tillage lands. His loss is a public one, and the catastrophe has spread a deep gloom over the whole neighbourhood. We deeply sympathise with the bereaved families of the sufferers in this mysterious and calamitous visitation of Providence.
