Sch. Ruth Groves left
this port on a Georges trip, Oct. 17th, put into Provincetown where she took her bait, and
left the 21st. She was seen by several vessels previous to the gale of Nov. 12th and 13th,
since which time no tidings of her have been received and all hope of her returning to
port has been given up.
She had twelve men, as follows:
Horace Tuck, master, of
Gloucester, leaves a widow and three children
Winslow DeCiamp of Shelburne, N. S. , married
Stanley Poole, Shelburne
Dennis Souier, Maine
Joseph Jameson
Maurice Powers, Canso
Justine Guillot
William Seaboyer
Duncan Chisholm
Michael Hall,
Isaac Levache
Fred Allendorf
The last named shipped in Provincetown. So far
as we can learn, those whose residence is not designated, were natives of the Provinces,
but have followed the fisheries from this port several years. The Ruth Groves
was built in Essex in 1867, and was 68.82 tons, owned by Messrs. James Mansfield &
Sons, and insured in the Gloucester Mutual Fishing Insurance Co. for $3000 and $500 on the
outfits. |
