A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

The fate of Mrs. English, the chief

stewardess, it is stated, completes a double

tragedy of the sea. She was the widow of

Captain English, who was part owner of

the Glenelg, a little steamer running some

years ago between Melbourne and the

Gippsland lakes. The Glenelg foundered,

the captain was drowned, and only three

or four hands escaped. The Masonic Lodge

of which Captain English was a member

wished to establish his widow in business.

She declined the proffered assistance

preferring to follow the sea to earn a living

for herself and daughter. Miss English is

being educated in Melbourne.
