The agents of the vessel writing to the owner A.L. PALMER, Esq. says that two of the crew were frozen to death and a third man had his feet so badly frozen that they will have to be amputated. (see original) 24 March 1879 GLOBE: It seems that the crew as originally shipped did not go in the vessel - Hanes of Dorchester and Olsen of St. John, backing out at the last moment. Andrew GALLAGHER an elderly man and a foreigner, were shipped to fill the vacancies.
