master of the soop Decomsl, of Newport set oil for
a walk with four friends of his, from Roosevelt street,
where his vessel lay, 10 the North River. He
and his friends being green Yankees, fresh caught,
knew nothing about the latitude and Longitude of the
FIVE Points, nor its bearings by the compass, until
they found themselves IN the heart OF Anthony street;
the centre Of that most delectable region. Two
strange sail were observed ahead, bearing down on
them with all sns set-three sheets in the wind
and the other shaking-and all colers and steamers
flying These sail proved to be two "low, long,
black looking women, not schooners. Directly they
came alongside Of the four Yankee Captains, they
threw oct their graphing irons, and boarded them
simultaneously.
