A sad Case OF Drowning.
We learn from reliable source that

Mr.. Wescott, who is pilot, and who
formerly lived at Smithville, and but
recently moved to Lockwood's Folly
where he followed his profession, rig
ged up his boat, a small sloop, to board
vessel off the inlet. He took on
board with him negro man who gen.
orally assisted him in managing his
craft. AS the sloop was cossing the
inlet it struck upon an old wreck and
capsized, and Immediately sunk. Mr..
Wescott and the negro swan for shore,
which the latter succeeded in reaching,
but Mr.. Wescott was drowned. The
negro went to Sminhville yesterday and
made known the facts to the relatives
of the deceased.
Mr.. Wescott has been pilot on the
