AT this the crew began to take in u of

schooner all at once went out of sight iRe

sisted of five men. The names Of all are not
known; the captain was named John Quinlan,
and he was from st. John. He was young
man about 80 years of age, and unma rried.
His brother, who was of the crew, was about 90
The men were all from the provinces.
The suppostion in regard to the loss OF the
vessel is, that the rails in her worked loose,
anl in their movements strained her so that
she sprung a leak, and being very heavy loaded
went down.
The schooner was a woodboat schooner
owned by Chase & Co., of ST. John, was about
SO tons, and worth $4,000. She was considered
strong and safe vessel, and would probably
have outrdden the storm if there had not been
too much canvas spread.
