SIGNS OF A WRECK.
Vessels Arriving at Gloucester Report Wreck
age on Seal Island. N. S.

Gloucester. Mass. March 1.-Tncomine
vessels bring reports that make it appear
certain that a vessel probably n coaster.
has foundered either from the force of
the gale or collision with steamer.
Large quantities Of wreCkagc have been
sighted by the crews of three different
vessels in the vicinity Of Seal Island, n.
s. This consisted of a large number Of
cheese and iron-bOund boxes and iirkins
Of butter. together with q lot Of deal and
heavy planking. There was also a grained
door made Of matched boards.
In all cases Mt the time Of sighting the
wreckage there was a gale blowing and
it was impossible to save any of the flot-
sam which might lead to the identity of
the unfortunate craft. 1t is the opinion
that the deal was part of a deckload
which was probably bound together by
the planking. and that the cheese. butter
and big boxes. evidently dry goods cases,
We're part Of the cargo in the hold OF the
unfortunate vessel.
The wreCkage was sighted on or about
Feb. ~ ana the locations were about 40
miles southwest Of Seal Island, y. 5.
