Wreck of the "Humanao" at Grand Manan (Charlotte Co.) - The "Humanacao" was a Spanish steamer which went ashore at Wallace Rock, Murr Ledges during a thick fog Wednesday 5th August. She was then on passage from Baltimore to St. John and had on men a crew of about 40 men. Persons had almost forgotten the wreck when it was announced it had been purchased by Donald McNeil of New York, James Griffiths and others of St. John. On Saturday night Tug "Dirigo" left the city with James GRIFFITHS and a gang of ten men with appliances for breaking up the steamer. Monday eve. the "Dirigo" returned to St. John and reported that the wrecking had commenced. Yesterday noon, J.H. HARDING, agent of the marine and fisheries dept. received a telegram from W.B. McLAUGHLIN, light house keeper at south west head, Grand Manan, to the effect that the steamer was breaking up and her smoke stack and foremast had already gone by the board. Mr. McLaughlin, though a long distance away, could see distinctly with a glass that the effects of a heavy gale the previous eve. had made an impression on the wreck. About 2 o'clock another despatch was received from Capt. Johnson: 'Steamship hove off ledge and sunk; all hands supposed to have been lost.' There were twelve men on board. All were lost but one, the young lad DALY, who was saved by the tug at 5 p.m. The names of the men who went from Saint John, as far as could be learned yesterday, were: James Griffiths. He has a wife but no family.; James NAPIER of Portland, who was foreman of the gang of workmen. He has a wife and five children; Robert JOHNSON, Portland, carpenter, who was at one time policeman on the St. John force. He has a wife and grown up family.; James STRAYHORNE, Portland, caulker, who has wife and one child.; James CLARKE, Portland, who has a wife and several children; Bartholomew ARMSTRONG, Portland, who has a wife and four or five children; Hartley STACKHOUSE s/o Richard STACKHOUSE, Portland, who has a wife and five children; Alexander SCRIBNER, Portland, who has a wife and two children; Jeremiah DALEY s/o James DALEY, cartman.
