February 2, 1822 - Saturday Evening Post (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
Lamentable Accident.
On Saturday, the 2d inst. a free coloured man, assisted in loading a sloop with wood on the shore of the Hudson river, about 14 miles above the city of New York. This being accomplished, the man started about 4 o'clock, P.M> for home across the mountain, and the sloop repaired for New York. The mountain here is excessively high, probably from 3 to 400 feet - and in some places perpendicular rocks. The black man had nearly ascended the mountain by a difficult pathway, when he slipped and slided out of the path upwards of 30 feet when one of his legs became entangled between two sapplings leaving his body swinging down hill. In this perilous and suffering condition he remained till next day at 10 o'clock, when he was discovered by a woman and her son. They gave the alarm and two men were speedily obtained, who released the prisoner after cutting down one of the sapplings. He then sat up, and asked for water, of which they had none - but took a little ardent spirit. He said he felt a little better, and related his fall and sufferings. Soon after he clapped both his hands to his head and exclaimed "O! O my head!" and in less that half an hour expired. It was the opinion of Doctor Fraeligh, that if his position had been less suddenly changed, ti would have been better for him. This unfortunate man was distinguished for his sobriety, honesty and industry. Faithful to his master, when a slave - Prudent and faithful to his family since he obtained his freedom. The substance of the above affecting relation was communcated to the editors, by a correspondent in Bergen county [ Newark Cent.]

April 17, 1822 - Dutchess Observer (Poughkeepsie, New York)
Distressing Accident - About noon on Sunday last, the sloop Franklin, Capt. Bogardus, of Wappings Creek, was instantly upset in Haverstraw bay, by a sudden flaw of wind. No lives were lost, though considerable loss of property, in grain, pork and flour. Capt. Pierce, of the sloop Merchant, of Poughkeepsie, came to their assistance, rendered them every aid in his power, and took from the wreck the following passengers, viz: Daniel Pine of Poughkeepsie, Andrew Hall of Beekman, Simeon Babcock and son of Fishkill, Maria Smith of Fishkill, and Margaret Burns, an aged woman of New York. The sloop did not right, but drifted into shoal water and grounded. It is due to Capt. Bogardus to say, by information received of his passengers and those of other sloops in sight, that he and his hands did the best they could: but the flaw was so sudden and severe that no human exertion could avert the accident.
