It appears that the two men were fishing from a rock in the middle of the pool and decided to have a cast from the bank. The boy Mackay brought over his boat to ferry them across, and on stepping from the rock the men caused the boat to tip. Caught in the swift flowing stream the boat finally struck a rock and sank immediately. Although one of the men was a strong swimmer and almost succeeded in reaching the bank he was caught in the strong current and sunk. Two of the bodies were recovered on Tuesday night and the remaining one the following morning. One of the soldiers, Kenneth Drysdale, belonged to Bladnoch, Wigtown, and leaves a widow and young son.
