CAPSIZED Near Belle Isle

CAPSIZED. — On Thursday afternoon, about three o’clock, a party of four gentlemen were out sailing in a yacht, near Belle Isle, when a sudden squall struck the boat, and capsized her. The accident came near resulting in the death of the yachtmen, as they remained in the water, hanging to the sides of the boat for half an hour, when they were rescued from their perilous situation by Addison Moffat.
