There was another unfortunate Accident yet in these parts, one Mr. _Churchman_, that keeps the Inns at _Betesley_, a passage over the _Severn_, and had a share in the passing Boats, seeing a single Man tossed in a Wood-buss off in the River, prevailed with some belonging to the Customs, to carry himself and one of his Sons, and 2 Servants aboard the Boat, which they did, and the Officers desired Mr. _Churchman_ to take out the Man, and come ashore with them in their Pinnace. But he, willing to save the Boat as well as the Man, tarried aboard, and sometime after hoisting Sail, the Boat overset, and they were all drowned, _viz._ the Man in the Boat, Mr. _Churchman_, his Son and 2 Servants, and much lamented, especially Mr. _Churchman_, and his Son, who were Persons very useful in their Neighbourhood. This happened on _Saturday_ about 11 of the Clock. _Your Humble Servant_, Tho. Chest _Mr._ Tho. Little _Minister of_ ---- Church _in_ Lyn, _in the County of_ Norfolk, _being requested to give in the particulars of what happen'd thereabouts, gave the following, short but very pertinent Account_. _SIR_, I had answer'd yours sooner, but that I was willing to get the best Information I could of the effect of the late dismal Storm amongst us. I have advis'd with our Merchants, and Ship Masters, and find that we have lost from this Port 7 Ships, the damage whereof, at a modest Computation, amounts to 3000 _l._ the Men that perish'd in them are reckon'd about 20 in number. There is another Ship missing, tho we are not without hopes that she is gone Northward, the value of Ship and Cargo about 1500 _l._ The Damage sustain'd in the Buildings of the Town is computed at 1000 _l._ at least. _I am your faithful Friend and Servant._ Lyn, _Jan._ 17. 1703. Tho. Little. _We have had various Accounts from_ Bristol, _but as they all contain something of the Same in general, only differently Exprest, the following, as the most positively asserted, and best Exprest, is recorded for the publick Information._ _SIR_,
