Alvia Boyd Seabrook
The entire party was on a trip with frank Blye in a motor boat and were on their way down to Hampton river shortly after two o'clock when engine trouble developed and the motor stalled.
It caught in the whirling tide and carried them against the pilings of the bridge.
The tides at this point runs at racing speed and when the motorboat struck the piling broad side, the tide against the keel caused it to capsize throwing out all of the occupant's fortunately the hull righted itself but was filled with water and held against the piling by the tide.
Marston and Boyd managed to reach the boat and climbed aboard and as they turned they saw Mrs. Addison with her baby struggling in the water.
They throw her a rope and she caught it with one hand. Holding on to her child with the other and she was pulled into the boat.
Mrs. Addison when they were thrown into the water held the baby, but it was torn from her by the force of the tide but she managed to grasp her by the wrist and hold on.
Her husband and son were not so fortunate and they were caught by the tide and swept through the bridge and disappeared from view.
Blye and the little Eaton boy were caught in the same manner and swept under the boat and through the bridge. Neither of them was able to keep above the water and soon sank.
The frantic cries of the woman and the men were heard by George Lamont a toll collector on the bridge and he ran to a point where the boat was held against the piling and threw down a rope.
In the mean time frank Beckman of Seabrook, accompanied by Edward Gauron
Were coming down the river in the farmer's motor boat and they were quick to take in situation and hurried to the scene.
By good seamanship, Beckman held his boat against the other until the woman and child and tow stranded then could be transferred.
They were taken to a point near the end of the bridge and Beckman immediately began a search for the others, but they were no were seen again.
Mrs. Addison was in a hysterical condition when she was taken to shore realizing that her husband and child had been drowned .she was attended by a physician and later taken home.
The Coast Guard was seen on the spot and they began at once the work of dragging for bodies but were unable to locate them.
There is an especially high run of these and this caused the able current to run out with more than the ordinary speed and it is feared that the bodies were swept out to sea.
All of the people were from Seabrook and were on a pleasure trip.
The little boy lived directly across from the Addison's and was taken along with the party.
The accident was seen from the bridge and in a short time it was shortly congested with automobiles already to assist but there was nothing they could do.
For some time after the accident, it was reported that there had been only three drowned, the little Eaton boy being forgotten in the excitement, and it was not until his parents began to make inquires as in the lad, that to nobody apparently saw him after the boat turned over.
