Drink and a Wasted Life

A young man was recently found in the Mersey, drowned. On a paper found in his pocket, was written: "A wasted life. Do not ask anything about me; drink was the cause. Let me die; let me rot." Within a week the coroner of Liverpool received over two hundred letters from fathers and mothers all over England, asking for a description of the young man, and saying that the boy they had loved had been drawn away into the shining halls of sin and drink.
