Notes From Trinity Bay

Early yesterday morning some of out boats, whilst on the passage across to the other side of the Bay, picked up a quantity of wreckage - a spar thirty-five feet long, a punt, a barrel of flour, a cask of kerosene oil, an empty biscuit box, an empty puncheon, a clothes trunk, &c. To-day Charles Randall, Esq., Preventive Officer and Constable Hatcher visited this place and inspected the above-named articles. Of course you are in possession of all the facts relative to the wreck, as it occurred on Saturday night by a collision with the S.S. Plover. Those on board the ill-fated schooner who were not drowned were brought to St. John's by said steamer. The lost vessel proves to be the Trixie H., of Heart's Content, Robert Percey, master. I understand five souls went down with the schooner - three men and two women - and fourteen were saved. This sad affair has cast a deep gloom over Hearts Content.
