The Sayville News gives the following particulars of a sad incident: Captain Charles Jennings and family, formerly of Patchogue, but now of Virginia, were at Fort Monroe to view the naval fleet two weeks ago last Saturday.
Capt. Jennings had fitted up his oyster schooner for his family's comfort, arranging the vessel's spacious hold in which they could live and have full range.
After viewing all that could be seen the vessel started on her homeward trip, when she was struck by a sudden flow of wind which did not show up at all upon the water, careening the vessel over far enough to cause great volumes of water to rush into the hold upon Mrs. Jennings and her three children.
The children were washed through the bulkhead into the cabin, but Mrs. Jennings was found in the hold of the vessel dead, and it is believed by the medical examining board that the lady was killed by concussion, caused by the rushing violence of water.
