During the violent storm on Saturday the 26th ultimo, the
schooner Lizard, Joseph Carrier, bound from Matane to this port,
struck on a rock between Rivère-du-Loup and Green Island, and was
wrecked. A raft was made by the persons on board, on which they
embarked. In this situation they remained, lashed to the raft, and
exposed to all the violence of wind and waves, from 4 o'clock in
the morning until 11 in the forenoon. During this interval, they
all died, except one man, Daniel McMillan, whose strength enabled
him to sustain this perilous situation, until the raft was driven
on shore, whereby he was saved.
The persons who perished are as follows:
Mr. Simon Fraser, of Matane,
Mr. Fraser, a nephew of the above,
Mr. John McMillan,
Miss Catherine McMillan, brother & sister to the survivor,
Joseph Carrier, Master. |
