• Notes

  Norfol, April 17 Melancholy Accident-Yesterday a boat was manned out from the frigate Constellation to go on some business, but had not proceeded more than 30 yards from the ship, when it was upset by a suden flaw of wind, by which we are sorry to say, Mr. Joseph I. Diggs, sixth lieutenant, and Mr Abraham Phillips, Midshipman of the Constellation, were unfortunately drowned. They were both promising Officers, and bade fair to be an ornament to our Navy.
