The late John WILSON, mate of a vessel from P.E.I. at Black's Wharf, was a son of James WILSON, Pilot of Miramichi (North. Co.) We learn that Capt. Roderick McDONALD of Souris, P.E.I. made every exertion to recover the body, but without success. Mr. SHERIDAN, Diver of this city, kindly lent his aid also. (see original) - Halifax Morning Journal
