Capt. Alexander James was the victim of a very unfortunate accident at Old Point this week. With his son Henry, Capt. James was bound from Old Point to Mathews in his gasolene launch, and as he cleared Old Point wharf, a launch attached to the battleship Maryland ran into Capt. James’s boat taking a small skiff from the dock. As the skiff was pressed over against the log or rail of the launch it jammed Capt. James against the rail and covered him over with it. The Captain’s legs and feet were badly sprained. He was picked up by the Government boat and is now the hospital at Old Point and is improving.
