Two Vessels Lost in the Whale Fishery.

The Clara, Capt. F. Milne, of Peterhead, arrived
in that port on Sunday morning, from Davis Straits.
She brings from 60 to 70 tons of oil, the produce of
seven whales, with the bone of eight. The Clara
sailed on May 24 last year, and she has thus been
away about 16 months. She has brought the un-
welcome intelligence of the total loss of two vessels
belonging to Peterhead, one by burning and the
other by drifting on a reef. The Bullygar was lost on
time, The Bullygar left Peterhead
the 30th Oct. last year, and the Dublin was burned a
few days after that me
four years ago for Cumberland Gulf, where she was
employed as a tender, for which purpose she was
built and specially fitted out in 1862. She was a
fine clipper schooner of 86 tons. The wreck took
place while the vessel was towing a whale. The
ground was known to be dangerous, and the men in
charge were cautiously feeling their way by sound-
ing ; but as the reef was a very narrow one, the lead
had missed it, and the Bullygar grounded and
became a total wreck. The Dublin was a vessel
of 328 tons,
was built in 1815,
and sailed on the
15th May last year for Davis Straits, well fitted
out, and fully ;
ecla.pped for the voyage. She was
furnished with 4 new steam-engine on deck, for the
purpose of warping the ship forward, managing
part of he: rigging, and flinching. The engine
was a light one of 4 horse power. The Dublin
had been very successful at the fishing, and when
burned hal about 50 tons of oil on board, which,
of course, went to the flames. Some of the bone on
board was saved ; and with the oil and bone at the
fishing station before the burning of the vessel, and
what the crew have collected since, it is expected
that from 40 to 50 tons of oil are left, with four or
five tons of bone. Fortunately no lives have been
lost, although the loss of property will be rather
heavy. The Lord Saltoun, likewise from Davis
Straits, is in the bay while we write (Nlonday),
with a good fishing—probably from 60 to 70 tons.
This vessel started for home some days sooner than
the Clara. The Alert is not the only vessel to ar-
rive from the whale fishing at Cumberland,
