Man Drowned In Bolinas Bay
On Saturday Allen Beausit, a bookkeeper for the Walter Surgical Instrument Co., San Francisco, was drowned while attempting to wade across the channel of Bolinas bay to get a boat with which to row his wife and child across. It seems he could not swim and the water being too deep for him he was drowned before he could be rescued. His wife and child were on the bank watching him.
One report is to the effect that it was a case of suicide, and that the man had threatened to take his life.
