Evening Telegram: Sept. 25 1912 FATAL ACCIDENT AT BELL ISLAND
Patrick Scurry, a Native of St. John's Fell off Ore Car and had Two Legs Crushed - Injuries Prove Fatal:
Yesterday a serious accident occurred at the Nova Scotia Company's pier at Bell Island, in which Patrick Scurry, aged 62, and a native of St. John's, had both his legs almost crushed to a pulp. He was brought to the General Hospital and arrived there at 11 o'clock last night where he died from injuries received after a lapse of 3 hours.
The facts as gleaned today by a Telegram reporter are: The victim, Patrick Scurry, who is an employee of the Dominion Iron and Steel Company was off from work on a weeks holidays. He had made arrangements to go through the mines of the Nova Scotia Company for the purpose of witnessing the work carried on and yesterday after his dinner left home to pay a visit. He proceeded to the Scotia's pier which was reached about 4 o'clock and got upon an empty ore car which runs to the mines. Shortly after the car was in motion Scurry was thrown off and almost instantaneously another car which was coming out of the mines in an opposite direction and filled with ore, passed over the lower limbs of his body, crushing and mangling them fearfully. The victim was picked up in an apparent lifeless state and tenderly borne to a nearby residence. The Company physician, Dr. Ireland, who was called into requisition, pronounced Scurry's injuries to be of a dangerous character and advised that he be sent to the General Hospital. In the meantime the physician gave the best treatment he could to the patient who did not regain conscious[ness]. Inspector General Sulivan at this end was acquainted with the accident by telephone and asked t have a conveyance ready at 8 o'clock at Portugal Cove to meet the patient who was accompanied by Dr. Ireland. On arrival, according to L.G. Sullivan, with typical promptness, ordered out the special ambulance, which left the city in charge of cabman M. Kelly. After he was transferred from the Bell Island steamer to the ambulance, Scurry was in a critical condition and received the unremitting care and attention of Dr. Ireland en route to the Hospital, which was reached at 11 o'clock. Up to this the injured man was unconscious. At 2 o'clock this morning he succumbed to his injuries, death being due to the awful shock.
The sad occurrence has created sympathy in St. John's as well as on Bell Island. The deceased was an employee for many years with the firm Goodridge & Sons and later carried on a fishing business for two years on the Southern Shore. Subsequently he went to Bell Island where he brought his wife and family to reside. To the bereaved family, relatives and friends the Telegram joins in the much sympathy expressed.
