Mr. GRADY Drowned at Tiburon
MICHAEL GRADY of San Francisco, and a member of the crew of the yacht Kathleen, fell from the deck of that vessel while she rode at her moorings at Tiburon Sunday afternoon, and was drowned. The bay was promptly dragged and the body was recovered. The galley of the Kathleen was out of repair and the unfortunate man was washing the dishes over the side amidship. There was a heavy swell on and it is supposed that he lost his balance and fell. No one was on the boat at the time and it was some minutes before his absence was noticed. As soon as it was realized that he was drowned the Corinthian Yacht Club members manned the boats and dragged the bay until the body was recovered
