        LAMENTABLE FATALITY AT BALLYBUNION

        Plucky Rescue

        On Thursday evening Dr. Clancy, J.P., Listowel District Coroner, held an inquest touching the death of the Rev. J. Conway, C.C., Shanagolden, Co. Limerick, aged 48 years, whose body had been taken out of the sea at Ballybunion some hours previously. From the evidence, it appeared that the rev. gentleman went bathing with another clergyman, who was unable to render him any hassistance owing to the heavy sea, and only got ashore with considerable difficulty. The Rev. Mr. Fry, Rector, with charateristic pluck, swam to the assistance of the drowning clergyman, and brought him ashore, but it appeared that life was then extinct, as the most vigorous efforts at artificial respiration failed to restore conciousness. In accordance with the evidence of Dr. Costelloe a verdict of death from drowning was returned.

        THE FUNERAL
        The funeral, which took place to-day for Mount St. Laurence Cemetery, was both large and representative. The people of Foynes, Shanagolden and Robertstown attended in large numbers.
