Monday last, some Guns were fired from Carpenter’s Wharff, in Honour of St. David; but one of them (being overcharg’d with Powder, and besides imprudently ramm’d with rough Stones, which were to be shot at a Cask on the Ice) burst in Pieces, by which Accident Thomas Scot, Mate of the Ship Phenix, of Leverpoole, at 20 Yards distance, had his Scull fractur’d, and died in a few Hours.
