A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—On Tuesday evening the barge Avon was at the slip, Chepstow, taking in water for Sir John Aird's quarries, when one of the two men in charge went to turn on the water from a hydrant, leaving his mate, Arthur Pearse, aged about 26, a native of Gravesend, aboard. On returning to the barge it was found that Pearse was missing. The supposition is that he fell overboard, but on Tuesday night his body had not been found.
