MAN DROWNS SUNDAY

A Dorchester man drowned Sunday night when the motorboat in which he was riding capsized in front of Weld Boat House on the Charles River. His two companions swam safely to shore. MDC patrol boats dragged the river for two hours before finally recovering his body at 12:40 a.m. while a small group of summer school gathered on the banks to watch the morbid proceedings.

Police refused to divulge the dead man's identity but did say no foul play was suspected.
