Killed by a rock
"Mr WH Liddy of Torbay telephoned the News on Saturday morning
that a man named Constantine had been killed at Pouch Cove. The
unfortunate man is David Constantine and the circumstances
connected with his untimely end are very sad. He was working on
the north side of the Cove building a small wharf when a boulder
became loosened and rolled down the hill, bringing with it tons
of gravel and stones. The boulder struck the man on the back and
head, cleaving open the latter, and mutilating his back and he
died instantly. He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn
their loss."
