PREFACE. TN presenting the public -with the following "Record" of the' -■- Mercantile Marine of Yarmouth, on explanation of the cir- cumstances that have induced its publication may not be out of ' place. The records of the progress of any locality are generally full of interest to its inhabitants ; but to a community whose principal source of prosperity has always been found in the extension of maritime enterprise, these records at once possess a more general and s'aried interest, — for the lives of those " who go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters," have always been: connected with thrilling adventure, daring exploit, and noble self- denial. To the "sails that whiten every sea" is civilization indebted for that commerce which is the life of the nations ; and while these argosies of trade are ever contributing to the susten- ance of mankind, it is with a feeling of pride that we can point to the maritime enterprise that has characterized Yarmouth from the first year of her existence. This compilation shows that to-day ' she stands unrivalled among the Forts of the world in the value and tonnage of her Shipping, proportionate to her population. The compiler of the present volume has for some time thought- that a collection of facts concerning the Shipping of Yarmouth,, from the earliest period of her history to the present time, would be both interesting and valuable. There are also many thrilling accounts of losses of Yarmouth vessels that have been published only as the disasters occurred, or some cf them existing only in.> manuscript in the possession of individuals. These narratives he- has endeavored to collate as correctly and systematically as pos- sible ; and in them the following Record will possess, perhaps, ita- greatest interest. B h V ft I A Preface. It will be seen that, dixring the |)a8t history of Yannouth, a large fleet — nearly six hundred vessels — has been lost from the port, and •while harrowing tales of Shipwreck have become famihar to dwellers by the sea, it is a sad reflection that our own history has contributed so largely to their number. The valiant deeds of the hardy sons of Neptime have always been celebrated in prose and song ; and while this class of our population are continually ox- posed to dangers unknown to landsmen, it is fitting that they should receive a grateful recognition of their services in behalf of humanity. While looMng over the list of vessels that have been lost out of Yarmouth where the melancholy addition "All hands •perished," or "Not afterwards heard of," forces itself upon our attention, we are reminded of homes made desolate, of •wife, child and friend bereft of the companionship and support of those who have gone down in the depths, darkness and storm of old Ocean. In preparing this vohime many difficulties presented themselves at the outset. To- secure correct data of the various disasters and the names of officers, crews and passengers who have been lost, particulaily during the earlier years of our history, was no easy task. The compiler could not have been successful •without the hearty and generous assistance tendered him by several persons, whose kindness he would here gratefully acknowledge. His thanks are especially due to Drs. Jos. B. Bond and G. J. Fnrieh for the loan of early Eecords of the County, without access to which the follo^wing compilation mu8t*havc been very incomplete and unsatisfactory. Also, to Henry A. Hood and Wilham McGill, Esquires, of H. M. Customs at Yarmouth, for their very valuable aid in enabling him to use the official Registry of the Port. To the other gentlemen who, by data in their possession, and by their vivid recollections, have aided him in grouping historical facts in connection with our Shipping, he begs to offer sincere thanks. It could scarcely be supposed that every date given in the f ol- 'lo^wing pages would exactly agree with dates pre^viously accepted ; 'but the compiler has endeavored to be as accurate as possible in sup- ports, have been from time to time altered, as the caprices of maritime fashion or the necessities of navigation de- manded. Bitter controversies have raged on points which, rto a " land lubber," seem quite inadequate to cause such agitation, but which, to navigators, ship-builders, govern- ments and underwriters, have been deemed of vast impor- tance. On the whole, however, all changes have steadily moved towards perfection. Wood is now used in the con- struction of ships which was utterly condemned by survey- ors a few years ago ; and many qualities, at one time much esteemed, have fallen into disuse on account of scarcity, cost, or lack of durability. A glance at the tables in this book will show the changes in the relative size of vessels hailing from the port of Yar- mouth in days gone by ; but these tables cannot illustrate the vast difference in the construction, rig, cost, capacity, speed, or appearance of the vessels of the past half and quarter of a century. Many are still alive who can well remember seeing a full-rigged ship of three hundred tons, . and can recollect the feelings of awe and admiration at one Record op Yarmouth Shipping. 17 iime inspired by a ship of five hundred tons. To-day, a fifteen hundred ton ship, though a handsome sight, is neither an .awe-inspiring nor a novel one, while many new ones are yearly sent to sea averaging over a thousand tons each, and without causing more than a passing remark. If the construction, appointments and appearance of ships have improved perceptibly, it has not been accom- plished without increased eflfort and expense. As compe- tition in the freight markets of the world increased, so did the necessity of speed and capacity in the carrying tonnage increase. All the implements and facilities of navigation have been greatly improved. In consequence of the more complete light-house system, the more correct and better illustrated coast charts, the fuller deductions of astrono- mers by which the reckoning of navigators is rendered abso- lutely correct, a voyage to the remotest parts of the world is rendered little more difficult than a trip across the Bay of Fundy was sixty years ago. "What wonderful revolutions has trade seen and caused within a hundred years ! How well our freighting mer- chants have anticipated and availed themselves of the "tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune," it is needless to say ; but, as the tide cannot al- ways be at the flood, they have had also to encounter the ebb tides in commerce, and it is especially at guch times that their business intelligence, skill and indomitableness have been displayed. The restless and relentless energy of trade has diverted shipping, like other branches of enter- prise, into various new channels. The iron trade, cotton trade, and the guano trade, are a few of the more promi- nent and glaring instances of the vicissitudes alluded to. The discovery of oil in Pennsylvania created a vast revo- lution in freighting and commerce for a few years. Whilst it paralyzed the trade of the places that were dependent mainly upon the whale fishery, it aroused an enormous : ! 'If 1^1 ■I'M, m ■4 :i ♦, J ii ' 'I il 18 Record of Yarmouth Shippino. activity iu the general Ocean carrying trade, as well as in the inland traffic. All ship-owners rejoiced in the activity thus induced, and nearly all greatly benefited by it. In these varied trade interests of the times, the town of Yarmouth, however small a speck on the map of the world, is greatly interested. Her sons are to be found command- ing her 8hii>8 in every quarter of the globe. Some are hastening to and from Great Britain ond the Pacific coast of South America to load, or loaded with guano, hides, coal, general merchandise or munitions of war. Some are even gathering freights as fur north as Oregon in the Pa- cific ; while a large number are always sailing to and from the La Plata and Ports on the eastern coast of South Ame- rica. The East Indies, China and Australia have been frequented in past years to some extent by Yarmouth ships, but not so much so at present. The Atlantic trade, how- ever, is, and will probably for some time continue to be, the principal theatre for traffic for Yarmouth and other Provincial ships. We cannot more appropriately conclude this department of our work than by copying the following extract from the " Illustrated Guide Book to Canada of 1874," prepared by Messrs. Adara, Stevenson & Co., of Toronto : " The district which is most distinguished in Nova Scotia, and perhaps in the world, for the amount of shipping which it owns, is the County of Yarmouth, at the S. W. point of the Province. The tonnage per capita of the whole County is somewhere about fifteen tons, whilst that owned in the Township of Yarmouth yields an average of twenty tons to every individual. It is significant, too, that the size of the vessels is steadily and rapidly increasing ; for Yarmouth is not only busy with coasting and Provincial trade ; she does the carrying of a good deal of the world, and vessels from that comer of Nova Scotia are found in all waters." LIST OF VESSELS OWITED IN THE COUNTY OF TABMOUTH, N. 8., SINCE ITS SETTLEMENT IN 1761 TO THE FBESEKT YEAB. Those marked (*) are Vessels purchased from other Ports. 17G1 — Tradition says that the first settlers who came this year brought one Shallop, named the " Pompey,'* with them, of about 25 tons, and that she continued to be owned at Chebogue. 1763-4 — John Sollows, soon after his arrival, built a Shal- lop of about 25 tons, on " Fish Point," Yarmouth harbour. This was the first vessel launched in Yarmouth County. 1763-5 — David Pearl, Ebenezer Clark and James Allen built a Schooner (supposed to be the "James,") at the mouth of " Broad Brook." Tho keel of this vessel was the first laid in the County. 1765 — Amos Hilton and James Kelley, who came about this date, each brought a Shallop with them. Note. — ^The following notes have been gathered from private memoranda and unofficial documents of the time, and may be regarded as authentic. The official register commences in 1787. 1762 — Seth Barnes owned the Schooner " Elizabeth." Ephraim Cook and George King owned a Schooner. 1764 — There were 4 Schooners owned here, namely : The "Elizabeth," by Seth Barnes ; 1 by Ephraim Cook and George Ring ; 1 by Peleg Holmes ; 1 by Samuel Gates.

The following account of the loss of this vessel is copied from a Sligo paper : — Shipwreck of the Loyalist of Yarmouth.: — A large barque, upwards of 200 tons register, and only three years built, is a total wreck at the north shore of St. John's Point, Bruckless Bay, Co. Donegal, a short distance from the light- house. She was homeward bound from St. John, N. B., for Sligo, with a cargo of timber, deals, battens, &c., and consigned to Mr. Peter O'Connor, of the latter port. It appears that her Captain mistook the St. John's Point Light for the Sligo Light, and became sensible of his mis- take only when his barque came crash against the rocks. It was two o'clock on Tuesday night, the 22nd inst., when the accident occurred. At the time it was blowing a hurri- cane from the N.E., and, being intensely dark, it was with some difficulty the hands and master saved themselves by climbing the rocks. When she struck, with such force was she driven that she carried away with her bows several tons of the solid rock. We understand the ship and cargo to be insured, and that Andrew Cassidy, Bruckless, Esq., the- enterprising agent for the underwriters at Lloyds, is greatly exerting himself to save the property for the Insurers. AU the deck lumber has already been got on shore, and he ex- pected the remainder of her cargo will be saved. Mr. Browne, the experienced officer in command of the " Racer ^'* L(jer, Record of Yarmouth Siiippino. 181 revenue cruiser, is devisinp; plans to remove the hull with the car^o. It will bo a difficult business, but thoro is nothing too difficult for enterprise and perseverance. It tells well for the honest disposition of the peo])le of the Point, that no depredations have been perpetrated upon the wreck. The Kilulton men deserve much credit for their useful exertions in saving the barque and cargo before Mr. Cassidy had time to arrive. We have heard that, at one period, she was drifting alee upon the rocks, and would inevitably have went into peg-wood or would have boon swallowed up the Gidl yngh were it not for the tact with which in not more than an instant of time they fastened her chain cable to a rock. Thoy will, we expect, receive more than the usual salvage, and they richly deserve it. Brig Elizabkth, 227 tons, Edward 15.

The Captain, thinking the vessel was drifting too near George's Shoals, commenced sounding and found bottom at 45 fathoms at 6 p. m. on the 22nd. On the 23rd at 2 p. m. the weather being very thick, with snow, and intensely cold, the wind blowing a tremendous gale, the ship ran into the midst of heavy breakers, sweeping the decks fore and aft, and at times entirely covering her.

A TOTTCHINO NABBATIVE OF SUFFERHrO AND FBIVATIOF. Schooner " Jacob and Benjamin," 104 tons, John Cann master, sailed from Yarmouth for Barbadoes, with a cargo of lumber, about the 15th September, 1820, and arrived at her destination in safety. After taking in ballast and raw hides, she sailed fer Yarmouth on the 8th November. About the 20th, whilst passing through Sombrero Passage, she was chased and fired into by a suspicious looking craft, but was not overtaken. About the 1st December, in lat. 27 N., she encountered very severe weather, which drove her from her course, and the crew were put on a short allow- ance of hard bread. and water. From the 4th to the 27th December, they experienced a succession of gales from the Westward, during which time they lost the foresail and flying jib, broke the mainboom and jib-boom, and split the topsail. On the 27th December, whilst running before the still raging gale under bare poles, a heavy sea broke upon the quarter, throwing the vessel on her beam ends. The Captain ordered the lanyards of the rigging to be cut, which was done, when the masts went over the side and the vessel righted. All hands went into the hold to shift and secure the ballast. Having now lost her spars, the vessel was left as a log upon the water, drifting at the mercy of the wind and waves to the S.E. for eight or ten days, the crew being left with only three biscuits apiece, and nothing but starvation before them, should they not soon be rescued from their perilous situation. As soon as they were able they were engaged in rigging the vessel with what spars and ropes still remained on board. A sail was made from the hides which comprised the cargo, eight of which were sewed Record op Yarmouth Shippino. 221 loir. 1 Cann a cargo ived at Lnd raw member. *assage, ig craft, , in lat. h drove rt allow- ;he 27th [rom the 3ail and plit the "ore the is upon The which and the hift and e vessel oercy of ,ys, the nothing rescued ere able ars and Eom the e sewed together and hoisted to the jury masts. The vessel was then headed to the Eastward, to get in the track of vessels bound to or from England. After being on the wreck twenty-two days, subsisting only on the hides and three gills of water each every twenty-four hours, they went below, expecting to die of starvation, having given up all hope of being rescued. The Captain, however, during the forenoon, went on deck to take a last look, and while doing so espied a vessel bearing down for them. Calling to his crew below ** Sail in sight," they sprang to their feet instantly, ** seem- ingly with the strength of lions," and rushed on deck. The Captain of the Ship refused to launch his boat, and they were obliged — though how they did it was a miracle — to launch their own, which they did by lashing two pieces of spars to the rail and lowering her into the sea. Captain Cann, William Williams, (the narrator of this disaster and the only survivor alive to-day,) and another man, jumped into the boat and rowed off to the Ship, but it being very rough, they could not go alongside. A rope was thrown to them from the Ship, which they caught, and Captain Cann was thus hauled on board. The inhuman monster — unworthy of the name of man — in command of the Ship, refused to allow the starving crew to come on hoard his vessel, (we have not even heard of his tendering them any provisions,) but told Captain Cann that as they were so near Fayal, (being then about sixty miles N.N.W. from that port,) he thought they would get there in a day or two. Captain Cann and his two men were thus mercilessly com- pelled to return to their disabled vessel, and made every effort to reach Fayal, but that night the wind changed to S.E., and they were driven off before it. As they were not able to get their boat on board again, she was lost. They continued to drift to the Northward as far as lat. 43.30, when on a Friday morning late in February, 1821, (the precise date could not be obtained,) a large Brig hove in m ''IV r 222 Beoord op Yabmouth Shippino. $ hi!- Si- sight, came alongside and laid to. She proved to be the Brig "Thalia," Captain Benj. Simpson, from Liverpool, England, for Demerara, ivho, with two of his men, launched the boat and went on board the wreck. The shipwrecked men were assisted into the boat and on board the Brig, and were kindly cared for till their arrival at Demerara. From the time that they had been put on short allowance till they were rescued a period of Eighty-three Bays had elapsed. Our informant states that they cut the hides in pieces four or five inches wide, placed them in salt water till thoy became soft, then stretched them on a spar, and with their knives as sharp aa they could make them, they shaved the hair off as clean as possibb, then boiled them eight hours, cut them in as small pieces as they could swallow, and mixed them with a few tamarinds to sweeten them ; and thus they subsisted for upwards? of sixty days. The " Jacob and Benjamin" was owned by Joseph Tooker. Loss of Schooner " Hibernia," and the entire Crew. VmACULOVS ESCAPE OF THE CAPTAIir. Schooner ** Hibernia," 48 tons, Thomas B. Tooker master, sailed fiom Yarmouth, on the 22nd October, 1822, for Barbadoes, with a cargo of lumber, &c. Everything went well until the 28th, when the weather became thick, and the wind increased to a gale, with a very heavy sea running, which compelled the Captain to lay the vessel to, heading S.E., a Ship in company to windward also lying to. At midnight a sea struck the vessel and threw her on her beam ends. The Captain, who was asleep, below, being awakened by the shock, immediately sprang for the companion way, which was instantly carried, away by the Record of Yahmouth Shipping. 223 deckload. With difficulty ho forced his way to the deck, the water rushing down into the cabin ; the spars and deckload having broken loose were knocking about, tlma rendering the position he occupied one of extreme danger. He succeeded in pulling one man up out of the cabin. The vessel immediately filled with water. The Captain then endeavored to reach the boat, fearing that the vessel would founder, but ho was unsuccessful. With difficulty he next cut the lanyards of the fore rigging with a penknife, when the mast went over the side, and the vessel began to right. The lanyards of the main shrouds were next cut away, but, fortunately for the Captain, the mast did not fall. The vessel having righted so far, now made the position he occupied too dangerous to stay longer, and he was obliged to retreat to the main gaflf, which was about five feet from the deck, again pulling the man (who appeared to have lost his reason) up after him. The remainder of the crew had either been washed off or perished below. The Captain kept himself and the man on the galF for about ten minutes ; but being worn out with fatigue and the violence of the sea breaking over them, he was compelled to release his hold, and the man dropped overboard and was drowned. It was now about 2 a. m. of the 29th. He was compelled to remain in this position until daylight, when a sad spectacle was presented to his view: only stem and stern out of water, everything a com- plete wreck, nothing on which to subsist, and the sea continually breaking over him. At 10 a. m. the weather had so far moderated that he succeeded in getting aft to the skylight ; and with the help of a boathook, which he found fast to the rail, was in hopes of hooking something out of the cabin, but was unsuccessful. The wind having changed to the Westward, made it extremely cold ; he having nothing on except shirt, drawers, stockings and waistcoat. A vessel soon hove in sight, and crawling forward, he got. i m\ M v4 .(^ ?i(:: if' ' 224 Recoud op Yarmouth Shippino, a piece of the jib, which ho succcpded in hoisting hy tho signal halyards, which had not been carried away, by which he hoped to attract the notice of some one on board the distant vessel ; but to his great disappointment they did not see it, although she passed so near that he could plainly see her hull. He again tried to get some food from the cabin, but was once more unsuccessful. About sundown he saw another vessel to windward, but she also passed by without noticing him. He then returned to the gaff*, with little prospect of ever seeing morning, as the sea again began to break over the wreck with increased violence, a long, cold night before him, and his feet and limbs being much swollen from bruises received by the broken spars. He lashed himself fast to the mast, and remained in that position until 11 a. m. of the 30th, when another vessel hove in sight, and bore down for him. A boat was sent from her, and as she ran under the stern, the Captain ran along the main boom and dropped into her. He was con- veyed on board the vessel, which proved to be the Brig " George," Captain James Unsworth, of and for Liverpool, G. B., from St. Andrews, N. B., where he received the •best of care, and was landed at the former port. The " Hibcrnia" was owned by John and George Bingay.

Of the One Hundred and Thirty-seven persom on hoard not one escaped to tell the dreadful tale ! From a docu- ment found on the shore, the following detail of tho number on board is taken, namely: — one Commissioned Officer, one Non-Commissioned Officer, thirty-oight Privates, twenty Women, sixty-eight Children, eight Crow, and ono Pas- senger, (Mr. John Bond, of Yarmouth;) in all one hundred and thirty-seven. The number of bodies found — drifted on shore — were eight Privates, six Women, and sixteen Children — in all thirty. Her crew consisted of — James Hilton, 1st Mate ; Mr. Cuiry, 2nd Mate ; John R. Crosby, Reuben Hersey, two brothers named Clements of Chebogue, seamen ; and Amos Richardson, cook. A raft, made of some of the deck-planks and rails of the vessel — to which a number of the bodies of the crew and passengers were lashed — drifted on shore about two miles to the East- ward of the wreck. It is stated that this was tho most distressing event, as regards the number of persons drown- ed, that had occurred on the Nova Scotia coast since the loss of H. M. S. " La Tribune," near Herring Cove, Hali- fax, in November, 1797. The following lines (taken from the "Yarmouth Telegraph," of the 18th May, 1832,) were written by a person who had friends on board this ill-fated vessel, and who visited the scene of the wreck a short time afterwards : — LINES ok THE LOSS OF THE "BILLOW."

The Brigantine " Jewess," 101 tons, William Crosby master, from Turk's Island for Yarmouth, with a cargo of salt,' drifted ashore at Pubnico Point, on the 25th Novem- ber, 1844. She came ashore on her broadside, sails un- furled, and waterlogged. By her log book and Captain's abstract (found in the cabin,) it appears that on Saturday night she was reckoned to be 150 miles South of Seal Island, consequently the disaster must have happened on Sunday night. The supposition is that she was capsized by a squall or struck on a ledge and bilged. One of the seamen, named Boutier (a Frenchman), was found dead in the foretop with an open knife in one of his hands. He was entangled in the rigging, which kept him from falling off. This was the only body found. The Captain's trunk (which was saved) contained, besides considerable i- uey, the vessel's clearance at Turk's Island, which was dated on the 6th November, thus giving her nineteen days' passage. The vessel subsequently went to pieces. Some of the mate- rialH were saved. The boat came ashore bottom up about an hour before the vessel. No insurance on vessel or cargo.

Captain James Burton, sailed from Glasgow, Scotland, for New York on Christmas Day, 1854, with a cargo of iron, and went ashore on Sunday night, 28th January, 1855, at Squam Beach, about twenty-nine miles below Sandy Hook, New York. The shock was sudden — the waves immediately began to break over the T,ei:sel with terrific fury, and those on board, eleven in number, were compelled to seek safety in the rigging. They could see the shore indistinctly, about three hundred yards off, but as they could not venture on deck for the purpose of forming a raft, they were compelled to remain in the rigging, hoping that the long-wished-for morning might bring them some assistance. There was one passenger, a Scotchman, who, with one of the hands, a boy about 16 years old, was swept overboard with the same wave which carried away the boats.

This man held on by his hands, in the foretop ; and after an exposure of fourteen hours on the wreck succeeded in reach- ing the land by swimming. At length, after six terrible hours of agony and sufifering, during which they were drenched with spray, and exposed to the piercing winter wind, the day began to break, and they saw a vessel about half a mile from them. They made signals and were answered, but whatever hope they might have entertained when they first observed her, vanished, as she proceeded on her course without taking further notice of them. It was, in fact, impossible to give them any assistance, situated as they were in the midst of breakers. No attempt, however, was made, and they now watched the shore with the most intense anxiety, as their last hope. They were soon gratified with the sight of a man ; and in less than half an hour after there were some twenty or thirty on the beach. They had been observed by some person connected with the lighthouse, who obtained all the assistance he could. At this time there were nine men on the wreck, and it was believed that if a rope com- munication could be made with it and the shore, that they could be saved. The mortar was accordingly brought out, and a ball, with a rope attached, fired over the vessel. One of the crew succeeded in seizing it, and was proceed- ing to make it fast to one of the masts, when, from some cause, it gave way, and all subsequent attempts to establish a communication failed. It is said by some that this fail- ure was attributable to some defect in the mortar or the other apparatus. As it was impossible to save them by this means, one of the persons on the shore volunteered to go off to the wreck in a boat if any others would accom- pany him ; but there were none daring enough to venture their lives. All but this brave fellow considered it impoasi- wl :,'!■: 1' Wr^ J.y ^, :.'«;.ii' *: I f.W'/t :i:- 282 Record of Yarmouth Shipping. %,\ ble to get through the surf, which was thrown to the height of ten or twelve feet on the beach, and he \\*as accordingly force'd to remain a passive spectator of the terrible scene before him. About twelve o'clock one of the sailors fell from his place on the foretop, and, striking on the deck, was killed. He "IP. afterwards found on the beach, with the front part of liis skull broken in. The man who was saved was observed several times in the act of undressing and dressing again, but did not venture to leave the vessel till about two o'clock, after fourteen hours' exposure. Then, without any article of d'-ftsa upon him except a pair of cotton drawers, he le.i;:'^d into the sea, and made for the beach, which he Bucceeaod in reacshing after a struggle of twenty minutes with the Wii'<'t ■; during which he frequently disappeared from 'li^ £i<;,lit, oi Ibose on shore.

He was taken immediately to the house of Mrs. Betsy Chapman, about half a mile distant, Wxiere he received proper care and attention. An hour or. so after, the Captain, evidently emboldened by the success that attended the first attempt, was seen making prepara- tions to leave the wreck. Deliberately taking oflf his coat - and boots, he descended the rigging, and running along the side of the vessel, jumped into the sea as far as he was able. As he appeared to be a powerful man, it was thought that he would succeed in reaching the shore safely ; and this thought was confirmed, as they saw him about half way from the vessel struggling with unabated vigor. Their hopes were soon dispelled, however, as they saw him overwhelmed by a huge wave, after which he was seen no more till his body was thrown up by the sea upon the beach amid the fragments of the wreck.

There they were, within three hundred yards of the shore ; bat those who saw them dare not venture to their assistance, as the waves continued tO' run high, and it was almost impossible for any boat to clear the surf. Before night closed on the fearful scene, not a living soul was left on the wreck, and the timbers that were occasionally thrown on the shore showed that it would soon go to pieces. Before the next morning, not a vestige remained of the vessel, except a portion of her bows, which, it is supposed, was attached by a chain to the anchor which lay beneath. All the bodies were found before Tuesday night, some of them eleven miles from the scene of the wreck. Four were taken to Squam, where they were interred in the* Methodist graveyard, with appropriate religious services.. Three were buried at Point Pleasant, which is about ten- miles from the village of Squam. The name of the seaman saved was Paul DeCosta. He shipped at Glasgow, and belonged to Canso, Nova Scotia. The four bodies which came ashore at Squam were recog- nized by him as Mr. Jones (mate) ; and seamen called John (a Frenchman) ; Augustus (a Frenchman) ; anA Henry Prock (colored).

Loss of the Schooner " Compeer," of Tusket. The following is an extract from a letter sent by a pas- senger to his Brother in Yarmouth, respecting the loss of this vessel : — Downs, England, Jan. 24th, 1865. Don't be surprised when you read the heading. No doubt ere this all friends have given me up as a lost sheep. We came to anchor last evening in the Downs, after taking a pilot at Dover. The first fair wind we leave for Antwerp, in Belgium, where the ship is bound. I left Sydney, 0. B., in the Schooner "Compeer," Captain Blauvelt, for Yar- mouth, on Friday, December 16th, 1864. For six days we had a succession of head wine's, and on the seventh were blown off the coast. The Captain then determined to steer for the West Indies. After changing our course we encountered gales of wind for ten days. We then attempted to return towards Nova Scotia, but could make no headway, as we had lost nearly all our sails.

January 5th ; the coal starting at the same time threw her on her beam ends. All hands imme- diately set to work in low spirits throwing out the coal (with which the vessel was loaded), in the mean tine keeping her up with the pumps. We all were just giving up with fatigue and hunger when we found the leak — a hole about the size of my arm, and pretty near the bottom of the vessel. I can assure you that we were pleased at the dis- covery, as we were unable to work longer, having then been fifteen days on an allowance of two potatoes in the morn- ing, and a biscuit and a cup of tea in the evening. It was hard fare for Christmas Day, and I longed for some of the rich food that was wastud at your tables on that day. Thursday night it blew a hurricane, and Friday morning the vessel was again thi'own on her beam ends for some moments, and began leaking again badly. Imagine, if you can, our feelings while pumping all day to keep her up. Friday, at 3.30 p. m., we gave up pumping, and all went below except the man at the wheel. The Captain then eaid that as we could not keep the vessel from sinking we had better satisfy our appetites with the few biscuits we had left, and give ourselves up to God. I can now hardly realize my feelings at that dismal moment. While we were talking, the man at the wheel cried out the joyful words, " Sail ahead !" We sprang to our feet and on deck with the strength of lions, as though we had been feeding on the best of food. As a signal of distress the Captain hoisted the flag, union down. The vessel came near enough to speak her, and we informed those on board of our con- dition. The Captain immediately laid his vessel to and «ent a boat for us, the sea at the time raging furiously. The boat was manned by three men, and while nearing the Schooner they cried out to us to be ready and jump in the boat, which we did quickly, as it was impossible to do more than save ourselves. All we saved was what he had on, and that not very clean. On arriving on board the vessel, she proved to be the Barque "Maximilian," Capt. Eichan, of Yarmouth, from Philadelphia for Antwerp.

The Barque " Rising Dawn," 516 tons, William I>. Robertson master, who had his wife on board, (and a true- hearted and brave woman she proved to be, as we shall see in the sequel,) sailed from Boston, Mass., on the 2nd June, 1866, for Ivigtut, Greenland, in ballast. On Sunday, the 12th August, the vessel was crushed in the ice, and sank suddenly. All on board saved themselves in the three boats, with some provisions and necessaries. The Captain and Mrs. Robertson (a young woman) and one party went in the long boat. The rest, were divided between the Ship's pinnace and the gig. For two long days and nights they dragged their weary way through the pan ice for sixty miles. One of the men in the long boat was taken very ill wit) the fever and ague, and unable to row any longer. The Captain took his oar and rowed for the rest of the day, and his wife took the helm, and steered the boat, she leading off bravely and imparting courage to all. They finally reached the Island of Umanack, remarkable for its sterility and its two sugar-loaf rocks, one of 1,600 feet, and the other towering up to 4,000 feet above the level of the sea. Here the exhausted party remained for two days. They made tents to sleep under, out of the ship's spanker and gaff top- sail, and sought rest after all their fatigues and anxieties. They left this barren rock to pursue their journey to Ivigtut, and fell in with an encampment of Esquimaux, who fur- nished them with a guide to take them to Ivigtut, which was about thirty-five miles from Umanack.

Captain and Mrs. Robertson and the crew of the "Rising Dawn" spent eight days with their hospitable entertainers, and then left the ice-bound coast. As all could not go in one vessel, the party was divided — the Captain and his wife, two mates, two men and a boy went in the " Mira," of Nova Scotia, bound to Philadelphia ; two men went in a Brig called the " Ellena," of Arundel, England; and four men went in the " George D.

The " Mira" and the ** Ellena " arrived safely at their destinations ; but not so the " George D. Marsh." After pro< eding on her voy- age as far as the Magdalen Islands, she foundered during a heavy gale on the 11th September.

Island, during the storm of Saturday night, October 29th, 1866. All the masts were carried away close to the deck. The crew remained on board until Monday morning about 8 o'clock, when the mate, Mr. Smith, and six of the crew, got on shore without accident, although the weather was still stormy, and the sea breaking heavily. He (Mr. Smith) remained about three hours on shore, waiting for the sea to calm down ; but, a flag being put up over the stern of the vessel, he started to go on board, taking with him two landsmen, Michael Shea and McCarrey. They got fiafely on board. The captain and the remainder of the crew got into the boat ; and when about half way to the shore, a large sea struck her, upset her, and left the poor fellows struggling in the water. Two boats were on the beach, which were immediately pushed off. They were not prepared, but out they went. Several of the persons on shore rushed to their necks in the water to try to save the poor fellows. It was a sad sight. The captain was the first to reach wading ground, but he could not stand, as the sea was breaking over him, and he would soon have perished had not a friendly hand come to his assistance. Four others of the boat's crew weie saved in an exhausted -condition. But, sad to relate, Michael Shea and McCarrey were drowned, besides Mr. Smith (the mate) and two sea- men.

THE CAFTAm AND WIFE, STEWASD AIH) WTTE, HATE AND FIVE SEAMEN DBOWNED! The Barque "Elizabeth Jenkins," 667 tons, Thomas B. Richan master, from London for Boston, Mass., laden with scrap iron, was run into by the Ship " Agra," Captain Evans, ofiF the " Owers Light-vessel," at 8 o'clock, p. m., of the 15th November, 1866, and immediately sank. The Captain and his wife. Steward and wife. Mate and five sea- men were drowned. The remainder of the crew were saved by getting on board the "Agra." Captain Richan could have saved himself, but he rushed below to bring his wife from the cabin, and before he could regain the deck, his vessel sank. One of the men saved, had his colhir bone dislocated in getting on board the " Agra." The men who were saved went into the cabin of the " Agra," to get dry clothes, etc., when a singular accident occurred. The boy belonging to the "Agra" was getting out the medicine chest for some strappings for the injured man's shoulder, when by some means or other he fired one of the signal rockets which communicated with others, and filled the cabin with flame and sulphur. Several of those in the cabin were burnt ; but two of the men from the " Elizabeth % m I 3ii iij: *■■«. i , ' 1*<- 242 Record of Yarmouth Shipping. Jeuliiiis" were so severely injured that immediately after the Ship's arrival at Spithead they were sent on shore. A lawsuit was subsequently instituted in the High Court of Admiralty of England, and came up for trial on the 20th February, 1867, resulting in a verdict for the owners of the "Elizabeth Jenkins," the Court holding the "Agra" solely to blame, and condemning her in damages, and costs. An appeal was subsequently made to the Judiciary Com- mittee of the Privy Council, which gave a decision revers- ing the judgment of the previous Court, so far as to hold both Ships to blame for the collision ; consequently, the combined loss was equally shared by the contesting parties, each paying their own costs. It is said that the legal expenses of this suit amounted to about £1,700 sterling. The "Elizabeth Jenkins" was owned by A. F. Stone- man and others. m 1H|> 'I'J ' Loss of Schooner " Dezette," and whole of the Crew. FBOVIDENTIAL BESCUE OF CAPTAIN AJTOBEWS.

As she broke up, the men, one by one, were swept ofi", until only one besides the Captain continued to cling to the portion of the wreck that still held together. "When the destruction of the vessel was complete, these were both launched into the sea. The seaman immediately sank, and was seen no more ; but Captain Andrews succeeded in reaching the " trunk," and on this frail support drifted in the Bay for fifteeji hours, being first carried by the flood P Record of Yarmouth Shippino. 243 tide to within a short distance of the mouth of Yarmouth harbour; then by the ebb tide to the southward of the scene of the shipwreck; and finally, by the next flood, assisted by a favorable wind, carried to the vicinity of Pink ley's Point, where providentially he was discovered and rescued by Mr. William Kinney, and conveyed, in an exhausted condition, to his residence at Little Eiver, hav- ing, as above stated, been fifteen hours in the water. The names of the persons who perished by this disaster — all young men — were : Herbert Kinney, Enos Beales, Thos.

The following is the Captain's account of the wreck of this vessel, as furnished by him to the *' Yarmouth Herald":— [To the Editor of the "Yarmouth Herald."] Dear Sir, — You have doubtless seen various statements relative to the melancholy circumstances attending the loss of my vessel, the Basque "Manitobah," 698 tons, at the "Buck Rocks," on the coast of Cornwall, England, and I feel it my duty to give your readers a correct account of my sad misfortune. I sailed from Havre, on the SOtli day of January, 1872, at about 2 p. m., weather fine, wind 8.E. At about 3 a. ra. of the 31st, I passed the " Casquettes," and hauled to ^V., ;ii!

All hands were called to shorten sail, but some sails were blown away before they could be taken in. I reduced sail as speedily as possible, until we were under two lower topsails, reefed upper raaintopsail, foresail ajid foretopmast and niizzen staysails. At about 6 p. m. the weather cleared, when I made the "Lizard" Lights bearing N.N.E., distant (as I judged) eighteen or twenty miles, vessel heading W., by the wind. I now kept away W.N.W., until nine, vessel running, eight knots. The "Lizard" Lights were now out of sight, and I anxiously looked for the "Wolf Rod: " Light, (which is a red and wliite revolving one,) but couid not discern it. I now kept oflf N.W., until eleven, gale increasing, with heavy squalls of rain and sleet, vessel running nine knots. About this time I made a bright revolving light from aloft on my port bow. After watching this light some minutes I felt satisfied that it was " St. Agues," Scilly, and feeling con- fident from the distance wo had run that we were well to the Westward of " Land's End," I kept away N.N.E. After running this course about thirty minutes I made a fixed light on my starboard bow, which I supposed was the "Longships," bat a few minutes later I saw low lights around it as if from a town. I immediately gave orders to starboard the helm, and called all hands to brace up the yards, which was doue with alacrity, and whilst they were bracing up the yards I made the land close to leeward. I now gave orders to make sail as fast as possible, thinking we could weather the land, but in a few minutes I saw this was impossible, as the land was making out on the lee bow, I then gave orders to wear, as the only hope of saving the ship. The helm was immediately put up, maiutopsail hal- yards and sheets let go, and everything done to wear in the least possible space. She fell off rapidly, but when dead before the wind, her bow struck a rock, and she fell broad- side against the clitt's. The sea now rolled over her with frightful fury, and amid the intense daruness, roaring surf, breaking spars and shivering canvas, it was almost impos- sible to see or hear any one, or be heard, or dare au} thing except hold on for life. Knowing that if any one was saved it must be done quickly, I commenced to look anxiously Recokd of Yarmouth Shipping. 245 , which 80 suddenly orten sail, d be taken il we were lil, foresail )ut 6 p. m. •d" Lights or twenty kept away iota.

The vessel's quarter was close against a rock over which the sea did not appear to break. Tbis rock I thought I could reach, and with a rope open a way for saving myself and lamily. I then went into the cabin and brought my wife to the pilot house with the babe in her arms. Divesting myself of all burdensome clothing, I took the other child in my arms, and taking the end of a rope in my hand, I jumped on the rock, but almost instantly an immense wave swe[)t me off, and I was carried out in the surf, with the child in my aims. I was washed bacH and forth several times until my strength became exhausted, and I ceased to struggle, and became insensible. On re- aovering consciousness I found myself wedged in a fissure in the clilf so tightly that I could hardly extricate myself. My son had disappeared. As I regained strength I gradu- ally crawled up the almost perpendicular clitf. After those on board supposed I was drowned, a brave aeanaan, named Edwaifd Burgoyne, attempted to get ashore with a tope, but he was drowned. Shortly after this a heavy sea swept over the vessel, carrying away the pik)t house, in which were my wife and youngest child. The vessel now listed off, the weather side being all broken in, and the broken stuff was carried under her other side and formed a kind of floating bridge, and the crew who were lashed on the outside of the inshore side of the vessel got on this wreckage and all got safely ashore. Ten minutes later the other side fell away and everything was carried to sea. An hour and a half after the vessel struck, not a vestige of her remained in sight. After I got to the top of the cliif and recovered a little strength, I commenced wan- dering about, in the hope of finding some one, — and finally came to u small farming house, where the crew had just arrived, and who told me the fate of my poor wife and child. We were kindly treated by the family, and made as com- fortable as circumstances would admit of. Daylight at last came, and I was forced to realize my dreadful situation ; my homo and family all gone, and I, barefoot and with scarcely sufficient clothing to cover my body, and about eight miles from Penzance, the nearest town. After some delay I procured teams and drove to town, where I was kindly treated and my bodily wants supplied. During the afternoon, the body of my infant daughter, aged eleven 246 Record of YARMotfxH Shipping^ months, was washed ashore near Penzance, about eight miles from the wreck. The body of my son, aged three years and three months, was found on the following day near the fatal spot. The remains of the seaman Burgoyne were also found in pieces in different places ; but the body of my dear wife was never recovered. Every kindness and sympathy which Christian friends could bestow was ren- dered me, and I desire by this, my only means, to express my deep feelings of gratitude towards the inhabitants of Penzance, and also to the Nova Scotian and American Ship- masters at Cardiff and Liverpool, who so readily came for- ward to render the only assistance which one mortal can render another under such trying circumstances. May God bountifully reward them, and may they never he called upon to pass through such sudden and deep affliction. Your deeply afflicted servant, A. R. DURKEE, Master late Barque " Manitobah."

A Thrilling, Affeotiqg NarrataTO of Shipwreck, Suffering and Death ! This is another melancholy addition to the many ocean calamities we have been compelled to chronicle, and is a sad realization of numerous incidents of the vast deep, which, brimful of fearful aoenes and death, afford food for the fancy of the curious. The terrors of this horror of the sea tell not only of the blinding snow, the mountainous and maddening billows, and the crash of timbers, but to these ar'e added hunger, perishing cold and death — a fate that strikes the steadiest heart with the most appalling fcii ' :: Record op Yarmouth Shippino. 247 force. No more terrible shipwreck than this had occurred on the Jersey Coast for fifteen years, and none more disastrous. The Barque "Kate Smith" was a thoroughly built vessel, of 409 tons, and thought to be able to withstand the roughest weather. She was launched in 1864, and owned by Messrs. Wm. Kogers, B. Hilton and others, of Yar- mouth. She was laden with about 500 tons of pig lead-, consigned to a house in New York. Her captain was Wilson Hamilton, a native of Yarmouth. All went pleasantly from the time of leaving Les Passages, Spain, until the night of Wednesday, January 25th, 1871. At noon on Sunday, the 22nd January, in lat. 38, they fell in with the Pilot Boat " James W. Elwell," No. 7, of the Sandy Hook Pilots, and took therefrom Mr. Joseph Hussey, one of the company of that boat. From that .time till 10 o'clock at night of the 25th, nothing of note happened, but then it suddenly commenced blowing and snowing so fearfully, that half an hour later it was deemed advisable not to run further before the storm, but to tack ship and stand in for shore. This was done. At 2 o'clock the wind increased to such an extent that the foretopgallant sail was taken in. With every second, the maddening wind blew more furiously, and the snow was so thick that the moment began to be a critical one. At 4, the first mate and Pilot Hussey came on deck and relieved the second mate, who went below and sat by the fire till 5 o'clock, as the night was piercing cold ; wheuj getting warm, he went to his berth and there remained half an .'hour. At the expiration of that time he was called on •deck to help tack the ship again, as there were ** Breakers Ahead," and the vessel was running on shore. Obeying the summons instantly, without waiting time to dress, Newcomb, reached the deck just as a perceptible tremor ran through the vessel, and all knew in that terrible storm pS^' i ,< . 1- I. -I,': 248 Record op Yarmouth Shipping. (worse than many of the sturdiest mariners had ever seen) that they were aground on an inhospitable shore. The men's efforts to wear ship were herculean, but usslesa. The mainyard was squared, but the wheel, by the force of the vessel's striking, had been torn from the helmsman's hands, and was flying round with such rapidity that none at that second could stay it. It was a period of intense agony. So soon as the officers found the Barque would not move from her perilous position they ordered burning torches to be used, which was done ; but their feeble light seemed a mockery against the seething masses of waves as they struck the vessel and rolled back to land. Then the mainsail was hauled up, and orders given in a calm voice by the Pilot to prepare the port boat for 'aunching, as he knew now it was a matter of life and death. This was attempted, but, unfortunately in getting over- board, it was capsized and filled with water. Efforts were made to right it, and were successful, and the mates by bailing freed it of water, until they were almost benumbed. Orders were then given for the boat to be manned and proceed to the shore and obtain assistance from the Life Boat Station. The outlook to reach the shore in safety seemed such that o;ily the first mate (McDonald) and two seamen were willing to obey the command ; the others feeling that it were better to take their chances with the Government Life Boat, assured by Pilot Hussey to be not far away. The sea was now breaking over the vessel with such force that neither of the remaining boats could be got out. The boat containing the mate had landed safely, although theatened with being overturned several times. At last the Barque went over on her broadside and the sea was more terrible than ever. The Captain and) Pilot now ascended to the maintop and awaited the arrival of the Life Boat, which they had hopes would soon be sent off. Part of the crew preferred remaining on the top of the Record op Yarmouth Shipping. 219' cabin, which they did ; but it required the utmost exertion to keep from freezing, and frequent words of encourage- ment were extended to the crew. All this while the Steward's wife was almost bereft of reason, and finally one wave caught her and she was being washed into the sea,. when second mate Newcomb caught her and lashed her in^ the main rigging, more dead than alive, as the cold was fear- ful. The minutes slipped by ; but expected deliverance from, shore did not come, and about 8 o'clock the horribly angry ocean had battered in the hull of the once noble vessel, and she commenced breaking up aft, followed quickly by other i)ortions being crushed. The crew were now despairing of any help, and were told by the second mate Newcomb — who seemed to be one of the coolest and most heroic on board — thai ne was going into the main rigging, as it was the safest place. But they refused to follow him, and he soon found himself in company with the Captain and Pilot, who had been in this elevated position for some time. Then it was idvised by one of these to get down and reach part of the wreck, and take the chances of being floated ashore. This was not acted upon ; yet soon those in the maintop came down ; but they had hardly reached the quar- ter dock when, with a fearful crash, the mainmast went over the side, followed quickly by the mizzenmast; and the poor half-frightened wife of the Steward, who had remained where lashed by the second mate, became involved in the- wreck. *' For God's sake, help me !" was the despairing appeal of the lost woman. No one to reach her and free her from the wreck. The waves beat over her and with a roar, as if they exulted in the work! How she tried to throw oflf the debris of wreck. How she clung to life, and called for her husband; but there was no helping hand, and another wave washed her far out into the sea; and her husband, in his despair, jumped on. the pilot house as sbf Q mfficers and jrking the I the occa- he voyaj^e rse which ietermina- ck to his efforts to >y those to ious loss, laden, on Ihe Straits On the aim, tho tanr »'• heavy ii> \, an'', the jurt I by jieces, so 3t tackles Record op Yarmouth Shipping. 253 lore sail to keep it from strikinp; heavily on the stern post; and, ns the hawser was chafed off, it was still going to pieces. They were, however, afterwards enabled to secure what was left of the rudder by tackles, and by the help of the sails the vessel was kept on her course until the 29th, when it was unshipped by a sea and rendered useless. A jury rudder was commenced and was shipped on the 2nd of December, but there being a cross sea the hAwser parted and it was lost. Nothing daunted by this sudden failure, Captain Churchill tore down the remainder of the wheel- house, the rest having been previously carried away, took a spare topmast, bolted a quantity of deals on it, and put it over the stern to act as a steering oar by means of tackles, but the vessel would not obey it as she " payed otf," and it was taken on board, and the ship lightened forward. On the 4th of December the rudder was again put over the stern, and an attempt made to get the vessel to "pay off" before the wind, but without effect. Next day it was " weighed" and again put over the stern, when it broke about ten feet from the upper part, but ultimately they managed to get the vessel to ** pay ofS" and to keep her before the wind with the sails and the fragment of the rud- der. The rudder was again taken on board and spliced and repaired, and on the 9th an attempt to ship it failed by the gear giving way. The weather continued very stormy until the 14th of December, heavy seas breaking over the vessel and staving in the forward deck house and provision locker. On the morning of that day a temporary lull ena- bled them to get the rudder shipped ; but during the next day the stock was broken and it was rendered useless. The Captain and crew having managed to unship the stock on the 21st of December, commenced a new rudder, it having been impossible from the hurricanes and high irregular seas to begin work sooner ; as during the time which had elapsed since the last rudder was disabled the ship was rolling about in the trough of the sea with one of the pumps disabled. The new rudder was got into its place on the 2nd of January after much labor, but as it had no power over the vessel it was found necessary to put an "dditional rudder over the stern like a steering oar, worked vith tackles from inboard, and this had the necessary effect ntil the 5th of Januaij, when the stock of the other was >v< „■ >\ n m' i*;.: pi'-.-: 254 Record op Yarmouth Shipping. carried away and the rudder lost. Uo to the 10th of Jan- uary the vessel was subjected to a sei. 3S of hurricanes and heavy seas, which swept the decks, stove in the hatches, and carried away the bulwarks ; but on that day the indomi- table commander prepared to send down the mainyard to make a new rudder, which, after several mishaps in trying to ship and secure it, was got into its place on the 13th January. This rudder not being able to command the ship, Captain Churchill, on the 25tb January, (the ship in the interim having been spoken by three vessels and sup- plied with provisions,) proceeded to make another, which, after several ineffectual and heart-rending efforts, was ship- ped on the 27th January ; but no sooner was it in its place and put to use than the stock gave way and left it disabled. Determined to I ^ng his Ship to port, Captain Churchill, "setting a stovt heart to a stey brae," again set to work, made a fresh rudder, and got it shipped up the rudder post on the 1st February, the vessel being then in lat. 49 N., long. 12.13 W., having been driven-back from the latitude of Tory Island by North and East gales. The wind having now become favorable, and the rudder fully answering its purpose, the Ship proceeded up the South Channel, and at Ailsa Craig fell in with a tug which brought her to this port. She has been berthed at " Wooden Wharf," where the last ruddor is an object of considerable curiosity. Captain Churchill had previously distinguished himself in extrica- ting vessels during storms from dangerous positions, and on one occasion saved a Ship from being destroyed by fire." The following is an extract from a letter from Messrs. Wm. Lindsay & Co., Greenock, to Thomas Eillam, Esq., owner of the "Eesearch," under date of 16th February, 1867 :— " We have no doubt whatever you will be glad to learn that the Underwriters of London, Liverpool and Glasgow, and the owners of cargo uninsured, have subscribed a very handsome sum as a testimonial to Cap.uin Churchill, the mate, and boatswain, to be presented them on WednebJay next, in the Underwriters' Booms, Glasgow.
