THE LOSS OF THE SCHR. ITASKA CRAFT SPRANG A LEAK
William YOUNG, mate of the schr. Itaska, and John GUSHUE, cook, arrived home by Wednesday's No.2 express. They had a thrilling time when they lost their schooner on the 19^th ult. off St. Pierre. The Itaska, Capt. Jos. PETIPAS, sailed from North Sydney on 18^th August, for Bonavista with a cargo of coal of 249 tons. Early next morning the schooner ran into a heavy gale from the south-west. The seas were mountainous and the heavy labouring caused the craft to spring aleak when about seventy miles off the Cape Breton Coast. The pumps were manned but the water continued to gain on them and it soon became evident that there were little or no prospects of saving the schooner. The gale continued with unabated fury all Thursday and all through the night, tearing in shreds most of the schooner's sails. About 10 o'clock land was sighted. What little canvas that was left was rigged and about six hours later the Itaska was beached on the northwest shore of the Island under the towering cliffs which reached a height of some three hundred feet and five miles from the nearest habitation.
The crew effected a landing by a dory which had escaped the ravage of the sea, and spent the night on the beach between towering cliffs and raging seas, using the ship's riding sail for a camp. They were noticed next morning by some fishermen who landed and took them off and conveyed them to St. Pierre where they proceeded from there to North Sydney by the Pro Patria, and Captain PETIPAS and his son Clifford proceeded to Halifax and W. YOUNG, J. GUSHUE of here, and G. BRAKE, of St. George's came home by the Kyle.
