[1853] "Schooner WATER ROSE, 66 tons, Simeon Gardner master, sailed from
Clyde River, N.S., on the 19th December for the West Indies, with a cargo of
lumber, fish, etc., and was capsized, dismasted and waterlogged during a
hurricane on the 24th, in lat. 43.20, long. 50.00. Two of the crew perished.
Captain and remainder of the crew, after having been THIRTY-ONE DAYS on the
wreck, subsisting on raw potatoes and turnips, and being without water for
nine days, were taken off in lat. 37.22, long. 55.02, by the "Cordelia," on
the 25th January, 1854, and landed at Queenstown, Ireland. Owned by Cyril
Porter and others. Insured £400 in the "Marine" office. Cargo insured £250
in the same office." [p 154. I hope £ shows up in this message as the sign
for British pounds sterling.]
