   A sail boat was capsized at Wilmington on Saturday, the 11th inst., and 
three sailors and a boy, aged about 15, an adopted son of MR. WILLIAMS, 
Superintendent of the Seaman's Home at Wilmington, drowned. The boy, CHARLES 
FARROW, by name, was an excellent swimmer and would have saved himself, had he 
not been caught hold of by one or two of the drowning men and drawn under. The 
sailers were CHARLES JENNINGS of Portsmouth, Va.,  ISAAC TAYLOR of Rhode 
Island, and CHAS. SIMPSON of New York. All were young men.
