confirm the report of the loss of the
schooner Julia A. War; which is over four

to Vineyard Haven. Relatives and friends
of the crew have given up all hope of ever
seeing them again.
Ii is feared that the vessel capsized in
one of the gales which swept over the
coast about three weeks ago, and that the
wrecl1age found by Capt. Thomas of the
Leyland steamer Lancastrian, from Liv-
erpool, tailed exactly with portions of the
missing craft and marked the spot near
where the disaster happened.
The schooner was owned jointly by HON.
er N. Skinner of Fall River and James
Murchie of Calais.
Capt. War; belonged at the Ledge on the
Canadian side of the st. Croix river, a
short distance below Calais

Capt George War;, Mate Fred Wilson of
Jonesport Me-, Steward J. Moses, Seamen

ed schooner of 17S tons net register, built
at Calais, in 1891 and enjoyed the distinction
