Mrs. Helen Chapman said from her window in Tonagh Park she saw Stewart climbing up on a breadvan stopped outside his house.

CHILD DROWNED IN TANK.
Hour's Resuscitation Efforts Futile.
Tribute to a doctor's efforts, lasting an hour, to resuscitate a two-year-old child who had fallen into a water tank, were paid at an inquest at Gortin, Newbuildings, Derry, yesterday, on George Ephraim Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Walker, Magheracannon, Newbuildings. A verdict of accidental drowning was returned.
It was stated that Mrs. Walker went to Londonderry on Wednesday evening. During her absence a neighbour, who said she usually looked after the children when the mother was away, missed the little boy, and he was subsequently found in the tank.
William Porter stated that the tank was usually covered, but on this occasion he had removed the planks as he was filling it.
Dr. J. S. Thompson, Londonderry, said that for an hour he tried injections and artificial respiration without avail. Death was caused by asphyxia, due to drowning.
