Youth in navy uniform leaps overboard near Andwell
Yesterday a shabbily dressed young man in navy uniform took a boat at Andwell to cross the river. Midway he leaped into the water and was rescued with difficulty by a Waterman who refused to explain his actions. The man appeared intoxicated. Later, Thursday evening, two gentlemen riding in a carriage between Harebarth and Reading were robbed by a single well mounted highwayman of between three and four pounds.

Salt water to fresh water distillation proposal at sea
A man once in Portsmouth, five years ago, offered to distill salt water aboard ships using a simple, low-cost apparatus. The plan, approved by Sir Edward Wire and Admiral Geary, was not carried out due to an accident and later events. He now pledges to implement the system on any of His Majesty's ships at no reward when needed.
