On Friday 30th Jan., the "Sea Goose" left Eastport (Maine) for Grand Manan with a few passengers. The vessel is what is termed as a Pinky and of small tonnage. The was owned and sailed by John NESBITT and John LEARY, both residents of White Head. On her trip on Friday she was nearly lost. On arriving at North Head about 8 o'clock and passengers landed, she was hauled in at Drake's Dock, a safely sheltered nook on the west side of Flagg's Cove, where she lay until Sunday afternoon. At about half past 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, 1st Feb., the vessel hauled out from Drake's Dock and spread her canvas for White Head. The wind was then light but rising clouds assumed ominous appearances and M. Daniel HERRINGTON who was then at the dock, not liking the things aloft and alow declined. The persons who left Drake's Dock in the vessel were: John NESBITT, a widower residing at White Head with three children; John LEARY, wife and large family residing at White Head, seven children; Frank ROBINSON, unmarried, residing at North Head, age 25; Mrs. Simeon FRANKLIN, husband and child residing at White Head. Miss Ellen URQUHART step daughter of John DUNBAR of Centreville, this Island. All lost. The vessel had proceeded on her way to White Head as far as Cheney's Island and was struck by a sudden hail squall; about 5 o'clock off the Head of Cheney Islet, and immediately capsized, the three men climbed up the side of the vessel towards the rail when she righted and annon, with a sudden plunge disappeared with all on board beneath the whelming waves. J.T.O. CONNOR of St. Stephen had a fortunate escape. He intended to take passage in the ill-fated schooner but was compelled at the last moment by pressing business to remain on the island.
