Mr. Brady was one of an eight man party composed of George stoner, Walter Zimmer, Clayton Myers and George Small, all of McSherrystown, George Becker and Raymond Becker, Midway and William Mahone, Hanover. They left McSherrystown about 12 noon Saturday for Plum Point, Md., below Annapolis, where they boarded the fishing boat of Captian Dixon. The weather was good and through the bay was considered a little rough to fish.
Walter Zimmer, a member of the party, said that after leaving Plum Point, the boat was stopped about half a mile or so from shore and the group started fishing but with little success, and it was decided that they would try in another location. The boat then went to a spot off sharp's Island, known as the "Gooses" midway between Thighman's Island sound and the mouth of the Choptank river. At this point the water ranges from 20 to 80 feet deep with a swift current, especially at high tide. Zimmer stated that Brady was sitting at the rear end of the boat during the journey across the bay, a place he usually sat while fishing and that he, Zimmer, was with him during this time... After the boat anchored Brady continued to sit in his usual place.
Zimmer said that he left Brady and went to talk to George Small who had arranged the party, Small and several others with Zimmer went to the cabin of the boat and one shouted "Stop the boat, man overboard!" The group rushed to the deck and discovered that Brady was missing.
Captian Dixon stoppped the boat at once and a search was made for Brady. It was still daylight at that time and the boat kept circling around the spot where Brady went overboard but no one saw him after that. The party returned to Plum Point where the Coast Guard Station at Baltimore was notified of the tragedy. The remaining members of the party returned to their homes and notified the relatives of Mr. Brady.
