Jt is true, we have solicited

during the severe gale, a boat
belonging to John Cox, Es

sage with stores, from a fishery
on Chowan River, to another
on the Sound, with two negroes

believed the heavy nortli wind
(in the night while the. negroes
were asleep) threw the stores
to one side of the boat, and
caused it to sink.
