Scope and content
About noon on Wednesday, M.G. Ariyapala, a 20-year-old boy working on his father's padda-boat in the Beira Lake, and his friend Piyadasa, went to the Galle Buck, Fort to pick oysters. While standing on a rock, Ariyapala was swept away by a large wave and soon disappeared. Piyadasa reported the accident to the police. An immediate search of the area provide futile. Yesterday morning, the body was spotted about 700 yards from shore. A man P.A. Gunawardena of the Port Commission, volunteered to swim out to sea and recover the body. He succeeded in bringing the body halfway, but he found the current too strong. A raft was sent out to Gunawardena. Here is the body being brought ashore about noon yesterday.
