S.E. CLARK We are pained to announce the death of Capt. S.E. Clark, one of the best pilots on our bar. Some time since he took the schooner Young America (one of our pilot boats) to Jacksonville for repairs, and was on his way home, having anchored for the night at Mayport mills, just inside of St. John’s bar. Sometime during the night Capt. Clark was missing. Being nearsighted it is supposed in walking the deck he struck the low railing and fell overboard, and not being able to swim was drowned. Though not a hundred yards from shore, his body at last accounts, had not been recovered. Capt. Patterson went down on yesterday to make all search possible for it. With all others in this community we deeply sympathize with his wife and children in this heavy loss.
