ACCIDENT—Mr. E. STRODE, SuperintendingM aster
at Sheerness Dock-yard, was unfortunately drowned,
on Saturday last, at the Nore, while on his Majesty's
duty. He has left a widow and five orphans, who
have at once to deplore the loss of one of the best of
fathers and of men. At an early period of his life
he entered his Majesty's service, and was soon dis-
linguishei by the most persevering activity in pur-
suit of professional knowledge and a manly pertbr-
mance of all the duties peculiar to his station. At
the battle of the Nile, he led his Majesty's ship Zen:,
Loos, under the command of Sir SAMUEL HooD,
and equally distinguished himself at4he memorable
attack on Copenhagen. •ln a variety of single ac-
tions, he proved himself at once a perfect seaman
and a gallant officer. He lashed with his own hands
to the mizen rigging of his Majesty's ship CENTAUR
the bowsprit of the Russian 74, the Seowaid, which
was taken and burnt, in sight of the whole_Russian
fleet, at Fort Baltic.
