THURLESTONE - Drowned Off Salcombe.
The body found on Yarmouth Sands at Thurlestone proved to be that of GEORGE MAY, aged about 54, the missing Salcombe fisherman. At the Inquest yesterday Annie A. Fitzwalter, with whom he had lodged, was able to identify the clothes. George Pedderell of Salcombe said he last saw MAY alive at 7 a.m. on 12th inst., a mile and a half off Salcombe, about to haul his trammel. As MAY was very near-sighted, he pointed out the buoy to him. The water was smooth with a puffy N.E. wind. Being short-sighted MAY could not see the puffs coming. A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned.
