SHIPPING DISASTER. Loss of the Schooner “Avalanche.”
The schooner Avalanche, belonging to James Frost, of Random, Trinity Bay, was lost near the “Bulls” Cape Saint Mary’s, on Thursday last; the master and crew of six men saving themselves in the boat. The disaster occurred a half mile from the shore, and so suddenly, in the heavy north-east gale, that the crew had no time to save anything, escaping only in the clothing they wore. They had been engaged in the herring fishery of Sound Island and were returning when tin; accident occurred.
