A Hyannis, Mass., despatch of 13th says that schr. "Sea Lion" loaded with plaster for New York from Windsor, N.S., collided with an unknown vessel on the previous night near the Handkerchief lightship. Leaking badly, she made for Hyannis, but sunk near Bishop & Clark's light. The crew landed safely next morn. Since then, one man by name of William FOSTER of Parrsboro, N.S. has died.
