     The crew on deck were all washed off and drowned except 
     
     Spindler, who was carried by a sea into the crosstrees of the 
     
     ship and clung there for 24 hours. He was rescued by John J. 
     
     Campbell and John MacPhee. The wreck was towed into Campbells 
     
     Cove breakwater, righted and pumped. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Bodies of the drowned sailors were buried in Kingsboro 
     
     Cemetery. Neighbors and friends from Lunenburgh have visited 
     
    
   
   
    
     these graves. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Welcome was repaired and sailed some time later by a 
     
     Captain Farrer from Crapaud, Prince Edward Island. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Citizen 
     
    
   
   
    
     This was a vessel loaded with coal that went ashore in a 
     
     snow storm December 3, 1900 at North Lake below Stephen Mac- 
     
     Donald's, now John J. MacDonald's. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The captain, William Miller and his crew stayed four days at 
     
     Stephen's home. Charlie Barrett from Alberton, Prince Edward 
     
     Island was one of the crew. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Stephen read about Barrett's 90th birthday in the Guardian 
     
     about three years ago so he wrote to him and the result was, Mr. 
     
     Barrett visited stephen a year before he died. Mr. Barrett passed 
     
    
   
   
    
     away in 1971 but his family still keeps in touch with John 
     
     MacDonald. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mary F. Pyke 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Mary F. Pyke was a schooner of 150 tons from Maine, U.S.A. 
     
     lost in April 1902 or 1903 on Beaton's shore at East Point. She 
     
     came ashore one afternoon in fog. Some residents got potatoes 
     
     off her. The vessel was a wreck, the bell belonging to it is in 
     
     the Montague Museum. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Sovinto 
     
    
   
   
    
     Seas whipped into a frenzy by roaring gales lashed a sixteen 
     
     hundred ton barque as she endeavored to make her way around East 
     
     Point from the north side of the province. Suddenly the three— 
     
     master shook violently amid the sound of splintering timber and 
     
     foundered in a treacherous reef of Priest Pond. Ten lives were 
     
     lost on this bleak, stormy night of November 6, 1906. The ship 
     
     was the Russian-Finn Baroue, Sovinto. It was laden with lumber 
     
     and on its way to Melbourne, Australia, from Campbellton, N. B. 
     
     She was commanded by Captain Wigland and 21 seamen.
