The body of Anthony Perreault, emâ€" ployee of the Ryan Diamond Drill Comâ€" pany, was found floating on Night Hawk Lake late Saturday aftérnoon. Perreault was wearing a lifeâ€"preserver but it was not fastened correctly and authorities believe that Perreault had become exhausted in the cold water and had drowned. Company officials state that if the preserver had been worn correctly, it would have kept the mans head out of the water. Perreault along with John Strom, a fellowâ€"employee, had been working on the west side of the lake and had set cut on Thursday night to cross the six miles of choppy waves. They are known to have been towing a pointer behind their large motorboat which was loaded with heavy drilling supplies. When they did not arrive at the cpposite side of the lake, company ofâ€" Body of Anthony Perreault Found Floating on Night Hawk Lake. was loaded with heavy drilling supplies. When they did not arrive at the cpposite side of the lake, company of â€" ficials notified the provincial police. Officers White and Strickland searchâ€" ea the lake, and Mr. Ryan chartered an aeroplane and attempted to locate the bodies from this. Saturday morning the pointer was found near the shore but there no sign of the motorboat or the men. It is thought that the load was too heavy and the pointer was cut loose. Late in the afternoon A. Anderson and Hugh McEachern discovered the body of Perreault floating on the water, but so far, neither Strom nor the motorâ€" boat have been found. The Provincial Police and company cfficials are continuing dragging operaâ€" tions but as it is not known where the boat was swamped ,.this is proving a very difficult task. This is the second double casualty within one week. Address on Gardens on Wednesday Pupils of Miss Margaret Easton Excell Even Past Sucâ€" cesses in Event Last Week. Crowded Houses on Each Occasion.
