From some cause now not known, the vessel, soon after leaving the harbor, either foundered or was capsized and all on board perished. The persons lost were these: Robert Reed, Serg. William Swaine, Emanual Hilliard, John Philbrick and his wife Ann, and their daughter Sarah, Alice the wife of Moses Cox and John Cox their son and as is supposed their only child."
