Prsctlclsr With a Boat at Foot of Qseeo Street, He Went Too Far from the Shore Yesterday Afternoon Piteous Cries for Help . While bathing in the river at foot of Queen street yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, Cyrus Thomas, aged IS years and a son of the well known contractor, Mr. John Thomas, of the firm of Thomas & Rogers, was drowned under most unfortunate circumstances. At a late hour last nijfht the body had nnt besn recovered from the water. Young Mr. Thomar, with several companions of about his own age, went in the water early ia the after noon. Just before thr drowning oc curred all the bathers had come out of the river, put on their clothing and gqne away, xoung Tnomas was an expert swimmer and waa amusing himself with a boat which he kept at the Queen street dock. He would push the small craft out in the stream, swim to it and bring it back to the wharf for another trial. He was also prac ticing falling overboard from the boat; recovering possession of it and bringing it back to the wharf. It was on one of these trials that he lost his life. The tide was running down stream swiftly and the wind was directly opposite. In pushing the boat from him, it got beyond his reach and he made a superhuman effort to recover it and went far out into the stream where the water was from 25 to 30 feet in depth. When he found it useless to swim further for the boat, he started back to the wharf, but he had gone too far and very soon realized his peril. He cried aloud to a number of men working on some scows in the government yards, but before they could do anything to save him he went down for the last time. Messrs. J. R. Brown, Robert Robbins, Frank Lewis and J. R. Newton were among those on the government yard who saw the young man drown, but were powerless to save him. Messrs. Frank King and Kelly Smith heard cries from the second story of the factory of the American Textile Color ing Co., and they reached the window in time to see him drown 100 feet from the shore. Mr. J. W. Willis and other friends of the family dragged for the body in three boats until a late hour lajt night but the search was fruitless. Toung Thomas was a bright fellow and popular in the neighborhood in which he lived. He was once a mem ber of the , Boys' Brigrade and had charge of a delivery wagon for the Holmes Grocery Co. At the time of his death he was a member of the crew of the revenue cutter Algonquin, late ly stationed here, and was on fur lough, having recently been badly scalded on the ship by the overturning of a coffee urn. He had only a short time been out of the hospital. He leaves a aadly bereaved mother and father, two sisters and two brothers, Messrs. Harry and John Thomas, the first named being em ployed in the office of the Southern Express Co., in this city. The family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement News of the Injured.' Favorable reports as to the condi tion of all who were injured in the wreck at Carolina Beach Wednesday night, were given out yesterday and the news waa received with much grat ification by many friends.
