Lost.The boat found floating bottom up near Twil-litigate on Saturday evening la.it, turns out to be the Hell Iladdon, belonging to Solomon Mutch, Esq., of Ragged Harbor, Notre Dame Bay. Mr. E. A. Mutch, manager of the Furniture Show Rooms, on Duekworth-strect, was wired particulars of the affair last night, information of which lie gave the Colonist this forenoon. The Hell Iladdon left Fogo on Saturday week, the 7th inst., bound to Tihcove with a load of produce. There were three persons on board, viz : Simou. Bcm-ister, Joseph Wellon and Percy R. Mutch, son of the owner, who was going flown to Tiltcove just for a trip. It is thought that the boat reached Little Beaver Cove on Saturday evening, which place she ,did not leave again till Monday, .owing to head-winds. During the same night it must have been that she was caught in a squall and turned over, some-where^in the neighborhood of Western Head. Nothing was known of the disaster Till two days after, w hich was Wednesday, whena quantity of wreckage; including vegetables and a piece of a punt was picked up at Black Island. A short time after the boat itself was discoveredbottom up, near Cr^w' Head. She was badly damaged with keel, deck and bulwarks gooe.No trace of the bodies of these on board was seen, nor has there been since. Of the three on board, Simon Bemister and Joseph Wellon were both married men with families; the former belonging to Ragged Harbor, the latter to Ladle { Cove, Both were comparatively young men under forty years of age, Percy R. Mutch was the youngest son of the family, and was only . I twenty years old. He had spent some time! ' ! studying medicine in McGill College, and was * going back agaia to that institution within amonth.
