Capt. Joseph MacDonald of the schooner 'Bloomfield' informs us a Brigantine was lost on the North Cape of this Islan - with all hands perished and that she has gone to pieces. He states that she was a British built vessel 70 feet long on deck, 22' beam, supposed to be Canadian built about four years old. A number of empty Porto Rico sugar hogsheads came on shore with her.
The name of the vessel could not be discovered, but the stem of the boat supposed to belong to her, came on shore, with the name
'Veloce; Mouraske' on it.
Capt. MacDonald and others also inform us that there are from 20 to 30 vessels on shore between Malpec and the North Cape and that in Richmond Bay and on Hog Island there are some 40 or 50 more. It is currently reported that one sixty or seventy bodies have been interred on Hog Island during the past week.
