Coquet, took three boys (one of them Samuel Wat-
son, son of the late Major Watson, of Warkworth)
inte a ship's boat, to give them a sail on the river

up one boy, and set him upon the bottom of the
boat, and then went to assist Watson, who was still

boy taught him so closely round the neck, that he
was obliged to shake him off : on returning to the
boat, the other boy had lost his hold, and 1IiS;11).
