I ' News reached Conway last week ot the sad fate of three young men wno I went out on a hunting trip ' from fcCieorgetown. The three were Harry I McNaron, whose father was formerly | here engaged as an agent, J. T. Schroder, and Dopier Mishoe, lately of Croorgetown County, but who is said to have gone to Georgetown from this county some time ago. At last accounts only the body of | voung Hurry Mc Nil von had been recovered, and searching parties were still looking for the remains of the others. The Georgetown Times in its issue of last Saturday gives the following account of the occurrence: The people of Georgetown were shocked Thursday night when the | news was brought to the city that throe young men, Harry MoNaron, J. 1'. Schroder and Do/irr Mishoe, the latter being originally from Horry county, had lost their lives while out duck hunting. hYorn the available information to be gathered it seem-: that the three young gentlemen leti.; the city some time Thursday ufterr.ocn to go across Black River, just opposite to WilLowbank plantation, on Taylor's Island to shoot ducks. I,at ay in the afternoon it seems that the son 1 of Mr, J. Walter Doar, who was also out duck hunting, in returning to the c'ty, discovered a boat in a sunken condition in which was the body of ; man supposed to be frozen or drowned. On his way across the river young J. Walter passed another boat; going to the opposite -side of the Black. River in which were Joe Bui1 aud Pcrcv Fox worth. TTpon coming up with the other two boys young Doar informed them that he had seen a boat drifting down the river on th? i opposite side and Hint there was a dead man in it. When the two young boys, Foxworth and B-ull reached the other side o ' the river they saw tindrifting boat and decided to see who was in it. When they hauled up along side 1 hn\ discovered I.hat th<> horlv i v as that of a white man, and at oner : turned it over and found it to be the j body of young Harry MeNaron. They made an effort to i ct the bod,\ info Mieir boat in order to bring- it t" , t'ne city Hut could not do so owing to the extreme cold. The tvo hoys, I worth and Bull, then returned to tin. j city, arriving about seven o'clock 'o the evening and reported what tho.v had di covered, hnmodaitdy ther a \< r a "arching party composed u Messrs. .1. K. McQuad", l?>o Btill (.'apt. B. T. Daggett, ( barley Lx-on :m'(I i.iiK'1 liiii'li ('. T: \-li.i* .1 i ni.l others, left on the patrol boat Hob caw to fi rl the drifting" boat and if possible to recover t.be body of young McNarorc. The night was bitter cold in consequence of which the entire margin of the river bank was < ncase.i in ice which prevented the Hobcaw from going close in shore. A search was made as far up Black River us Kensington plantation, but no trace o! the drifting boat could be found. The search was kept up until after eleven o'clock when it was decided to abandon it until Friday morning. What became of the other two young men who were in the boat with Harry Mc Naron is not known, nor is it known how Harry met his death hut the g"iK oral belief is that in crossing Black River one of the boys raised up in the small boat to shoot some ducks when the boat filled with water and capsized. It is supposed that young Schroder and Mi shoe attempted to reach the shore while McNaron held on to the boat and finally succeeded in hauling himself back in the boat, but in the severe cold all three of the young men were frozen to death. I Early Friday morning the searching party returned to Taylor's Islam to continue the search and the boal containing the dead body of young MeNaron was found just, about where tho accident was supposed to have occurred, a little above and across the river from Willowbank canal When found the body of MeNaron wa: frozen so hard that it was with con siderablc difficulty that his clothe were removed.
