Hampton Beach:

Failing to notice the approach of a north bound car at Boar's Head at about 6:30 Friday night caused the instantaneous death of Mrs. Rose Fitzpatrick, 50, of Lawrence, Mass., who was struck by the car. A heavy wind and mist which covered the beach prevented the motorman, Douglas Waters, from noticing the woman, who is said to have been a bit deaf and who was carrying an umbrella in such a fashion as to prevent her seeing the approach of the car. Mrs. Fitzpatrick had evidently been viewing the surf on the beach and was on her way down the incline to her home at Great Boar's Head. Motorman Waters collapsed from the shock of the accident and it was some time before he was revived. Dr. Eugene Eastman, medical referee, who was summoned pronounced death as instantaneous.
