      Sad Death of a Faversham Fisherman
      Mr. W. J. Harris, County Coroner, held an inquest at the Coal Exchang, the Quays, on Monday evening, on the body of Austin Jemmett, of 31, West Street, a fisherman employed as a watcher by the Faversham Oyster Company, who was found drowned early that morning.

      Mr. A. M. Packer was chosen foreman of the jury. Mr. Isaac Dane, the foreman, represented the Oyster Company.

      Walter John Jemmett, fisherman, of 15, Lower Brents stated that deceased was his brother. He was aged 35, and was a fisherman and dredgerman. He was married and had five children. Witness last saw hi alive on Saturday morning at 9:30.

      William Henry Owen, dredgerman, of 12, Whitstable Road, stated that about 10:20 on Sunday night he was at Harty Ferry hard in his boat. Deceased, who was also in his boat, went from the ferry in the direction of his watch boat on the Beacon Grounds oyster fisher, where he was employed as watchman. Witness wished him Good-night. He was all right, and they had arranged to meet in the morning. It was a clear night, but a fresh breeze was blowing at the time direct against deceased. It would take him from twenty minutes to half an hour to get to his boat. About a quarter to eleven witness missed him and went in search of him. He rowed on the lee shore and there saw the deceased's boat in the mud with no oars in it. He rowed to the hard and got assistance. Going further up the river he found the oars in the mud about 200 or 300 yards apart. he rowed back to the ferry and went into Faversham and reported the matter to the deceased's brothers. He continued the search for deceased till about 7:45 that morning and found him when the tide ebbed off the banks, lying face downwards. There were no signs of any struggle. He thought it was probable that deceased lost an oar and in shifting his seat to row with the stern was overbalanced.

      Edward Quarrington, a labourer, of 30, West Street, stated that on the previous day he was with deceased fishing from 3:30 p.m. till a quarter past ten, when he left him at Harty Ferry hard to go to his watch boat. He was sober and quite capable of rowing a boat.

      The Coroner, in summing up, said it must have been a pure accident, as there was no suggestion of foul play.

      The jury at once returned a verdict of Accidental Death.

      The deceased had been a member of the Faversham Oyster Company practically all his life, and great sympathy has been expressed by his colleagues for the widow and family.
