Tragic End to Romance: The tragic ending of the brief married life of a young man and an actress was unfolded at an inquest held at Rotherhithe, which cleared up the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Stephen Pinsent Toby, an electrician attached to his Majesty’s ship Illustrious, stationed at Devonport. The body of the man was found in the river at Greenland Dock, Rotherhithe, and the medical evidence was that death was caused by drowning, and that the body had probably been a month in the water. The evidence given at the inquest by his widow showed that Toby had married her in September and when he came home in December, they had a quarrel on the subject of her continuing her stage career, to which she was bound by a contract. He went away saying that no one would ever see him again. A verdict was given of ‘“Found drowned.”
