BOUND, ashore near Racine. Total loss. Buffalo Courier (casualty list) March 17, 1848 . . . . . from the officers of the SULTANA that the schooner OUTWARD BOUND loaded with 11,000 bushels of wheat, went ashore at Racine on Friday last during a heavy blow. Buffalo Daily Courier Friday, October 8, 1847 . . . . . The schooner OUTWARD BOUND, loaded with wheat for Buffalo, hauled outside on Thursday last, for the purpose of taking on a few hundred bushels more of wheat. The wind at the time was off land, but during the night chopped round to the east, and increased in a few hours to a gale. The OUTWARD BOUND dragged her anchor badly, and finally went ashore on Friday morning. She is now embedded in the sand, but as yet has sustained no damage. Should the sea go down in a few hours, she will probably be lighted off without difficulty. -- Racine Whig, Oct. 2. Cleveland Weekly Herald Wednesday, October 13, 1947 . . . . . Schooner OUTWARD BOUND, ashore at Racine, September 28, 1847; full cargo of wheat. Reported 5 to 7 feet of water in the hold. Casualty List for 1847 Erik Hyle's private papers . . . . . The last accounts from the schooner OUTWARD BOUND, which went ashore at Racine, reports her as having 6 feet of water in her hold, and her cargo will probably be a total loss. Buffalo Republic Monday, October 11, 1847 . . . . . OUTWARD BOUND, driven on shore at Racine last fall, is now being hauled out, and will soon be again in commission, in Richmond's line. Buffalo Commercial Advertiser Saturday Evening, March 25, 1848 . . . . . OUTWARD BOUND, which was beached last fall near the harbor at this place, has been raised up, and ways placed under her, preparatory to hauling her upon the beach. She is to be thoroughly repaired, and will probably take her place in "Richmond's Line," early in the summer. - Racine Whig. Buffalo Daily Courier Saturday, April 1, 1848 . . . . .
