April 19. Brig Triton, William Wright, from Hull, sailed the
15th March, addressed to Messrs. Francis & William Hunter, in
ballast.
This vessel arrived opposite the town on the evening of the
18th, but the river alongside of the wharves, and higher up,
being full of ice setting down with the tide, she was forced back
and fortunately got on shore behind Point Levi where she lay till
the tide served the next day and then came up and got in to Mr.
Mure's wharf without having sustained any injury. We believe
this is the earliest arrival ever known in Canada, and had she
come up only two hours sooner, or at almost any other time for
some weeks past, she would have got in without difficulty. The
ice on the river above the town was just breaking up when the
Triton arrived. |
