BEO . EICHAED BATTEESBY , OF BUEY ( LANCASHIEE ) .
ON Wednesday afternoon , the 21 st inst ., while the steamer Nelson ( Captain Roskell ) was returning from Morecambe to Blackpool , with excursionists , an object resembling a human body was seen floating below the mouth of the river Lune , some three or four miles from shore . A boat was at once lowered , and Captain Roskell and two of the crew proceeded to the spot , and succeeded in recovering what tho Captain had good grounds for believing to be the body of
Bro . Richard Battersby , late of Parsons Lane , Bury , aged 27 , who , along with Bro . R . W . O'Neil , lost his life while yachting in Morecambe Bay on the afternoon of the 20 th May last . A reward of £ 50 had been offered for the recovery of the body , and we need hardly say that the seafaring folk along the coast of Morecambe Bay aud its approaches had long kept a sharp look out . The body , when picked
up , was enveloped in a mackintosh—which he wore when he and Bro . O'Neil fell into the sea—that had no doubt tended to preserve it . From personal acquaintance with the deceased , Captain Roskell had no doubt it was the body of Bro . Battersby , the long submersion in tho sea not having altogether obliterated tho means of identification , aud on an examination of the deceased's clothes , subsequent to the lauding of
the body at the South Pier , Blackpool , there were such evidences found —cards , envelopes , & c , bearing his name and address—as left no room for any doubt on the point of identity which might have previously existed . Mr . J . T . Newbold , The Springs , Bury , happened to be in Blackpool at the time , and hearing of the discovery of the bod y ho proceeded to look at it , aud was enabled ( though not without some
difficulty ) to identify it by the features as the body of Bro . Battersby . All doubt , therefore , being removed , the family of the deceased at Bury were communicated with , and due preparations made for handing the body over into their charge . Although the body had been upwards of sixty days at sea , it was in a fair state of preservation when found . The pockets of the
mackintosh were turned inside out , but none of the other pockets appeared to have been disturbed , and the watch , notes , and loose cash that the deceased had taken out with him were all found j likewise the ring he wore when the accident occurred . The body was picked up some five miles from where the accident happened , and there is reason for supposing that it has never been washed out of the Bay into open sea . It is thought thafc the body had floated only the day
on which it was picked np—the features being then quite whiteand that up to that period it had either been sanded over or entangled among tho sea weed , which on breaking up had released the body . An inquest was held on the following day , aud a verdict of " accidentally drowned " returned . The funeral of the deceased took place on Saturday morning last , iu the family vault at St . Paul ' s Churchyard , Bury ,
As the funeral party entered the church , Bro . J . R . Fletcher , P . M . Lod ^ o 191 , played Mendelssohn ' s Funeral March on the organ , aud as theylofb he played " Dead March" in Saul . Just before tho coffin was lowered to its last resting place , Mr . T , Battersby , brother of tho deceased , laid a floral cross on the lid , and handsome wreaths of flowers were placed thereon b y Bro . G . O'Neil and Mr . J . H . Openshaw .
