Melancholy Case of Drowning at Normanville.— A melancholy accident happened at Normanville on March 23 to one of the most industrious and sober men in the district. Aaron Ryals had been engaged during the loading of the ship David Brown, and went out with the last load of bark, accompanied by the Yankalilla Brass Band and several ladies and children. After remaining on board about two hours and a half, and when returning with the same party, he accidentally fell over the stern of the boat he was steering. Geo. Rhodes, one of the Band, immediately jumped out to save him. The boat was in full sail, and it was a long time before the sail was furled and the oars brought into play. The boat got back to the scene just in time to save Rhodes from drowning, but poor Ryals had sunk to rise no more. He leaves a wife and a numerous family.
*** Chronicle Saturday 27 March 1869
A sad accident occurred at Yankalilla on the 23rd to a man named Byles, in the employ of Messrs. Bean Brothers. He had been engaged with a number of other hands in loading a coaster with bark, and the, work being concluded the men, with their wives and families, were intending to spend the day pleasantly on board. Byles was steering a boat that was taking some of the pleasure-seekers to the vessel when, by some chance, he slipped and fell overboard. One of his companions jumped in after, but failed to rescue him, and he soon disappeared. The deceased had been long a resident in the District, and was much respected, and this melancholy event has cast a gloom over the neighborhood.
