Description
- Full Text
The schr. AGNES BARTON of about 80 tons burthen bound for Buffalo, with a load of coal, when off Erie, about 9:00 Tuesday evening (8/7), was met by a sudden north east squall; and owing to her unseaworthy condition, she sprung a leak, when she made for this port. The water gained rapidly on her, and she went down in 25 ft. of water, about 2 miles from the mouth of the harbor. No lives lost.
