In reference to the regrettable death of Fireman Drake. Mr. F. Drake was informed of his son's death in consequence of a letter from the district naval officer for Tasmania, who requested Captain D. Baker to convey the sad intelligence to the next of kin, together with a sincere expression of the sympathy of the Minister and of the Naval Board. The circumstances prevent us from publication of details, but the whole community will grieve at the accidental death of this very promising and gallant son of a well known Tasmanian citizen.
