Dragger Loses Man Overboard
The local dragger Leretha,
Capt. Richard Sparrow, now fishing out of Fulton market, New York,
arrived at Fulton market late Monday afternoon, with her American flag at half-mast, in
memory of one of her crew, James Murphy, 35 years, single, of New
Bedford, who was lost overboard from the vessel Saturday evening while the boat was
fishing in the Channel.
Murphy is said to have fished
out of both Boston and Gloucester in the past. |
