1752

August 17, 1752. New-York Gazette Revived in the Weekly Post-Boy (New York, New York)
Last Tuesday Morning, we had here a Thunder Gust with some pretty sharp Lightning, a Clap of which struck the Main-Mast of Capt. Menzie's Brig, in our Harbour, and tore a Piece out of it almost from the Top to the Deck; so that they were obliged to get a new Mast. The People on board were struck with Surprize, but by good Providence no Lives were lost.

​Tuesday last, one William Ask, a Lad belonging to a Flushing-Boat, going up the North-River, was knock'd overboard in Jibing the Vessel, and was drowned: -- His Body was taken up at Horsimus the Friday following.
