Show Sloop Capsizes During Squall. New York. Ten persons were drowned Sunday afternoon, two of them little girls, when the excursion sloop Roxana, carrying twenty-two passengers, was capsized by a sudden sud-den squall in lower New York bay. Captain Samuelson of the Roxana and twelve survivors were picked up under great difficulties in a rough and choppy sea by the tug Lamont. The Roxana was chartered at Ulmer Beach, Brooklyn, by a party of Swedes from Brooklyn for a sail across the bay to Midland Beach, Staten Island, and back. |
