Tanner and the latter's younger brother were trolling in a boat olf Dundarave pier at noon on Sunday, when they saw a canoe with two occupants capsize in the heavy tide rip oif Weston. They immediately ceased fishing and Mr. Brown rowed the boat as rapidly as possible in the dir- ection of the accident. After proceeding for some minutes, they passed the canvas canoe fioating just below the water, and then encountered K. Papke of Vancouver, who swimming easily, shouted to them to gn to the rescue of his companion. Unfortunately the latter, a man from Vancouver of the name of A. Muller, threw up his hands and sank just before they reach- ed him, and it is supposed he had already gone down twice, be- cause he never came to the sur- face again. They then rowed to Papke, who caught hold ef the stern of the boat and was towed ashore. Dragging operations for Mul- ler's body were continued for several hours by West Vancou- ver police and Vancouver police patrol boat, but without success. It is believed that the strong tide which was running at the time, carried the body out to sea. Deceased came to Canada from Germany only a few months ago. His parents reside in Berlin and he has a brother at Sooke, Vancouver Island. Miss Gwen Hodge of the B.C.
