Henry Clay (Schooner), aground, 3 Nov 1845
- Full Text
On Sunday last (11/3), we were visited with a regular North east gale of great severity. Of marine disasters we have from a distance flying rumors of distress and shipwreck, which we hope may prove exaggerated. Here we have to to record the beaching of the schr. H. CLAY, Capt. William Bone, which vessel, however, has since been got off with her cargo in somewhat damaged state. A friend informs us that after the subsidence of the gale he rode along the beach for some distance to observe its effects, and found the beach strewed with wheat. We appehend from this that some of the upper lake craft have gone to their last accounts; we hope our fears in this particular may prove groundless.
