Westerly Drowning Death of Five or Six Men, 1726

My 6g grandfather was Judah or Jonah WORDEN, 1695-1726. Born in Massachusetts, father Peter WORDEN, Judah/Jonah was said to have drowned 9 Dec 1726, Westerly, Rhode Island. I am unable to locate the story of that drowning. All I have found thus far is, "Jonah was drowned along with five other men." Surely there is more to the story than that.

I would appreciate any help you might offer. Thank you.
