Twenty-two Drown
London, Aug. 8. - News of a sad accident to a party of excursionists was received Monday evening from Port Talbot, a town in Glamorganshire, Wales. Twenty-eight pleasure-seekers from Ystrad took a boat at Port, Talbot and in spite of repeated warnings of danger, the boat being overloaded, put out into Swansea bay. The rowers being inexperienced, the boat became unmanageable and was carried into the breakers. A heavy sea finally struck the boat, causing the occupants to rush to the side, when it capsized and all were thrown into the water. Twentytwo, including several women and children, were drowned. Others were picked up by a pilot boat.
