A NARROW escape from drowning occurred to three fishermen in the harbor, on the afternoon of Monday last. It appears they were sailing past the silt-basin in the fish ing yacht Energy, when a squall struck the vessel, capsizing her. All threo men wcro suddenly precipitated into tlie water. Two held on to the yacht, while the third struck out for the shore, which —he beiug a good swimmer—lie reached with very little trouble. The accident had been witnessed hy a number of persons, and several boats put off to the rescue of the unfortunate men, who were clinging to the sides of the yacht. They were picked up hy a dingy from a cutter near at hand, apparently little worse for their immersion.
