April: A man named WARREN HATHAWAY, and a lad, were going down the Severn, near Beachley, on Thursday week, in a small sloop laden with salt from Lydney. The wind was very high and boisterous at the time, and as they were attempting to enter the mouth of the Wye, the vessel took in a considerable amount of water and went down. Hathaway jumped into the small boat, but unfortunately not having a knife or any means of separating the painter, the small boat was dragged down with the vessel, and Hathaway drowned; the lad climbed up the mast, and he was afterwards taken off by a boat.
