19 Jul 1736:22 (49)
Wednesday last his Majesty's ship Scarborough, Capt. Durell
Commander, fell down to Nantasket, and the next day sail'd
with a fair wind for Great Britain. While the ship lay
below, a Negro man belonging to Capt. Durell, a well known
trumpeter, called Caesar, having been with others in a boat
to the light-house, in their return, one of the oars
happened to fall over board, which Caesar endeavoured to
recover, by jumping in after it, but was entangled in the
eel grass and drowned.
