At Big Cape, P.E.I., Friday, Angus MACDONALD with his four sons and a son of John MACINTYRE, age 14, and a son of Donald McDONALD went out fishing. In the afternnon the wind veered from N. to S. causing a high sea which upset the boat and they were all thrown overboard. After some time struggling in the water, they all drowned except one of the sons of Angus MACDONALD who was washed on shore where he was found in a state of insensibility. He was put in a cart and taken home where he lies in a precarious state (Charlotte town Gazette)
