Captain Smith's Son Drowned.

New York, 1895

While the steamer Manhasset was passing through Gardiner's bay, two miles west of Plum Island, Monday morning, on her trip from New London to Greenport, the young son of Captain James F. Smith, who was making the trip with his father, fell overboard from the forward gangway and was drowned.
