regret that we announce the loss OF the schooner
Gurus of this port and of her crew with the excep
zion of one person George Miller in the gale Of
the goth inst. off the highlands Of Cape Cod, ON
her return from fishing voyage. We have con-
versed with voun. Miller and gathered from HIM
the following particulars. During the day, and
until nearly eleven O'Clock at night on Thursday

Not more thau two or three minutes elapsed before
Young Miller found himself buried in sea which
appeared to sweep the the whole deck with great
violence. At the same instant the vessel struck.
He let 90 the main sheet on which he was hold

in reaching the shore. Not trace of the crew OF
of the vessel could then be seen. He climbed uE

hausted state the house of Mr.. GroZier, where he
was Hospitality received at about half past eleven
O'Clock. and every attention was paid to him.
Mr.. Grozier and others Immediately secured the
beach, but could discover nothing OF the vessel or
crew. In the morning peces of the wreck. butts
and barrels were scattered along the shores
for miles, but no bodies could be found The
crew were probably consigned almost instanta-
neously to watery grave by the sea which broke
over the vessel when she struck. The Cyrus
had one of the finest crews that sailed from this
port. There names we're sfolOws--S Seth Gard

as an intelligent and highly respectable citizen.
This is the first crew which has been lost from this
port in the fishing business. The stroke is indeed
a severe one, and exctes'the iveest emotions
