IT is with the deepest regret that we copy from the Trinity Tablet the following account of the sad death, by drowning, of MR. HENRY G. CAMERON:-

Several of the crew on that day were extremely worn by their late exertions on the river, and were indisposed for rowing. The usual noon pull had been dispensed with, and in the evening Hooker, acting as coxswain, coached Sherman and Cameron in the Sophomore pair-oar. They pulled up stream as far as the toll-bridge on Morgan Street, where, about six o'clock, the swell of a tug-boat, passing at some distance from them, caused the water to wash over the bow of the boat, and gradually filled it through holes in the canvas. The oarsmen, having their backs to the bow, were unaware of their impending danger, until that part of the boat began to sink and the water to penetrate into the middle compartment. Sherman, who was bow-oar, at once reported the state of the case to Captain Hooker; he promptly urged the men to pull strongly and steadily, and headed the boat for the nearest shore. But the shell began to fill rapidly, and the men leaped into the water, Cameron unable to swim and seizing Sherman's neck. With extreme difficulty Sherman avoided being pulled under, and, turning about sought to grasp. Cameron; but the swift current had separated them, and he looked in vain for Cameron to rise. Hooker, meanwhile, also unable to swim, succeeded in turning over the shell, by which he kept himself above water until even this frail support began to sink under him, and with a desperate effort, he seized a boat which a boy by the name of O'Brien had put to the assistance of the drowning men. Sherman, who was able to swim, also climbed into the boat, and was taken ashore.

At the time of his death Cameron was a member of the Junior class, of which he was the President. He had passed most of the Honor examinations during his course, had taken several prizes, and had obtained the second Junior appointment. For several years past he had been a member of the choir of the Church of the Incarnation. It had been his long-expressed intention to devote himself to the ministry of the church.
