The following despatch was received from Halifax at an early hour last eve.: The derelict schooner towed into Msher's harbor by the steamer "Bridgewater" is supposed to be the "Adria", Capt. Watson, bound from Chatham, N.B. with laths for Philadelphia. When the steamer picked her up her stern was gone, but a hole was cut in her side when it was found she was laden with laths. The size of the vessel corresponds with the "Adria" which was seen in that vicinity the day before the big storm. Later on the Sun's Halifax correspondent telegraphed: 'Schooner discovered by steamer Bridgewater last Saturday floating bottom up off Broad's Cove has been identified as the schooner Adria of St. John. All hands are supposed to be lost.' Last night a 'Sun' reporter saw Fred WATSON, the managing owner of the "Adria" and learned from him that he had received during the afternoon a telegram from a Mr. Colwell asking if he could identify the "Adria". Mr. Watson was unable to give a positive answer as to that, so he replied in the negative. He had a letter from Capt. Watson dated at Port Hawkesbury, Oct. 27th, stating that he was waiting for a chance to proceed. Mr. Watson says he is afraid it is his vessel. He doed not mind his loss but was very much moved when the 'Sun' man told him it was feared that the captain and crew had perished. Capt. John WATSON, the captain of the "Adria", was a cousin of the owner. He was North End man. His wife and family reside on Main Street. Mr. Watson has no idea as to whom were in the vessel with Capt. Watson. The schooner made several voyages since she was here and probably got a new crew at Chatham. She always carried six men besides the captain. The "Adria" was built by Mr. Roberts at Portland in 1871 and is 194 tons register. She was at one time a brigatine, but was converted into a three-masted schooner some years ago. There was no insurance on her, but the cargo of laths, shipped by Messrs. Scammell, was insured in Cowie & Edwards office.
