On Friday 4 o'clock, the Schr. "Aurora Borealis", Capt. HAMM, left Fredericton with a load of lumber, shingles, etc. and made progress down the river until the squall of the eve., when she anchored at 'No Man's Friend'. As soon weather permitted, she was again under weigh and at 8 o'clock Saturday morn. was off Land's End, a few miles above Indiantown (St. John) It was blowing quite freshly at the time and the vessel was running freely, when the mate Joseph HATFIELD and a seaman named James JOHNSON started out to stow the flying jib. The mate reached a point near the end of the jib-boom and looked aboard when he saw JOHNSON had slipped from the top of the bowsprit and had just decended into the water. He at once passed under the bow and the mate, almost as quickly, was into the boat which was being towed astern while the man at the wheel rounded the vessel to. All efforts however failed in saiving the poor fellow's life, for he was only indistinctly seen once on the top of the water in the vessel's wake and then he sank in the drowning current. Deceased was 25 years of age and belonged somewhere on the North Shore, but his shipmates could not say. He has a brother living somewhere in the city or vicinity. Mr. Stevens will aid the former in doing all that can be done in recovering the body. DMN: George JOHNSON
