John Cooling, of Charlestown, accom-
panied by two young gentlemen of Phila-
dephia We're in rather Il perilous situation,
on Saturday last, during the prevalence of
the strong wind from the northwest. They
were enjoying themselves sailing in skiti,
and had reached n point about three miles
from the village, when sudden squall
struck the boat and capsized it. When the
boat went over, Cooling found himself en-
tangled among the ropes, and had great diff
Guilty in extricating himself. All, however,
were soon on the bottom of the boat, and
endeavored to "right" the craft, but their
efforts We're futile, as the rapid flaws"
that followed each other Rocked the boat
over as soon as it was righted. Some per-
sons, who had witnessed the capsize, went
out and took the unfortunate sailors off and
lowed the water-ladened craft ashore. Every
thing aboard the boat, including some Of
their clothes, was lost.
