(see entry 1442) The violent squall from the north which passed over this city about half past seven o'clock on Sunday eve., shaking window sashes and carry away loose shutters and skyloights, had more serious effects on the water. On Sunday morn., a small schr. "Phoebe" left Mahone Bay for Halifax with a cargo of lumber. She was under the command of her owner, Capt. Jacob LAYBOLD who held as assistants a seaman named Joshua EISENHAUR and a boy named George BURGOYNE - all belonging to Mahone Bay and vicinity. There were also on board two passengers, viz. Joshua ZWICKER, a merchant and Justice of the Peace of that town, and Robert McLELLAN, formerly a drill sergeant, and lately keeper of a store at Mahone Bay. ... Early yesterday morn. the wreck was observed by some Fisherman at Ferguson's Cove, and a boat was manned by four of them: John BROOKS, William BROOKS, George BEAZLEY and John BEVERLEY. -Halifax Chronicle (see original)
