Sovereign (Schooner), sunk, 23 Oct 1841

SCHOONER SUPPOSED TO BE LOST. - We learn by Capt. Kerr, of the steamer GORE, that the large Canadian schooner SOVEREIGN, Captain McKee, left Hamilton on the 23rd. Ult. in company with another vessel bound for Kingston, with timber. They parted company during the rough weather, and the SOVEREIGN has not since been heard of - her consord having made the trip and returned. The presumption is that the SOVEREIGN has gone to the bottom - or rather is wrecked. - Rochester Advertiser Nov. 5th.
