VESSEL BURNT1ON LAKE HURON.
Probably all hands Perished! la
GoDERlcH, Tuesday morning, Sept. 26.
We have TO announce the occurrence
Of a, melancholy and distressing ship
wreck on Lake Huron, and one which
there is much reason to fear has been
attended with a calamhous loss Of life
We anticipate our 1sdatsday of publica-
ton, in forwarding the rneagre details
that are yet known Of this deplorable
event, information that may lead to the
discovery of the unfortunate vessel.
The charred upperworks of large
Steamer or Propeller, were driven ashore
on Pine Point above Goderich, on We'd
nesday last, the Goth inst, the circum-
ference of flour barrel, the mast itself
coming ashore at Kincardine-the deck
and mast of the vessel were burnt black,
the topmast was about Is or 20 feet long
and painted white-many Of the wooden
hoops by which the sails are run up and
down the mast have been drifted ashore
and appear to have been cut away with
an axe.
The yawl, which is about Is feet in
the keel, painted lead color inside, and
white with green line outside, but with
out any name whatever on it, was not at
all burnt, but is now in the possession of
Mr.. John McGregor, Of Ashficld, who
found her at Pine Point, where she had
driven ashore-the burnt parts Of anoth-
er small bost have been picked up. A.
mong the various articles that the north
west wind has drifted in, are between 200
and 800 bbls. flour and Indian corn, pick
ed up by various parties between kincar-
dine and Goderich-a vast number of
boxes Of candles and ralsins, &c. and also
an immense quantity Of lucifer matches
in round boxes. Many Of the flour bar.
rels are marked "C;ty Mills, D. Harvey
and other of the goods recovered from
the wreck are directed to Sault St. Mary
and the Midea Bay Mining Company.
There appeared to have been a grca
quantity Of dried apples on board, as the
beach is strewed with them half burn,
and black; and charred barrel slaves, anc
other parts Of the wreck have been wash
ing ashore until last evening when the
wind chopped round to the N. E.
Many other things have also been re-
covered from the wreck, but nothing tina
has thrown any light on the name Of the
unfortunate vessel. From box contain
ing 7 kegs Of blasting powder, packed il
oats, and, indeed, from other circumstan
ces, there is but little doubt she was boune
up the Lake to one Of the Mining Dis
tricts.
There is too much reason to fear thu
unfortunate ship, first caught fire ane
then blew up; for the various parts of thu
wreck that we have seen indicate tina
the timbers have been riven asunder BY
explosion. No bodies have been yet dis
covered which leaves US the faint hop,
that as these vessels generally hug the
American shore, the men may have say
+ ed themselves by taking to the boats. A
a special meeting here yesterday, it wa
! determined to send constables along tn
coast TO protect the recovered propert,
which we sincerely hope will be careful
, ly preserved for the owners. and that tn
farmers OH the Huron Coast will neye
aim at that most unamiable name Of avecn
ers.
We shall be obliged 10 any of our con
s, temporaries who can throw light on thi
dreadful catastrophe.
