Thursday last as Col. William Rickets of Elizabeth- Town, with his Wife and Family, were going home from this City in his own Boat, accompanied by some of his Friends, they unfortunately left their Burgee flying at their Mast Head; and on their coming abreast of his Majesty's Ship Greyhound, then lying in the North River, a Gun was fired from on board her; but they not apprehending it to be at them, took no Notice of it, on which a second directly fol- lowed ; and the Shot passing thro' the Boat's Main- sail struck a young Woman, Nurse to one of Col. Ricket's Children, in the Head, and kill'd her on the Spot ; she had the Child in her Arms, which happily
