Ellis & Co., advertising that a man named Job Daw had been lost overboard from the schooner "Inspiration," on the voyage from this port to Lisbon. The unfortunate man was of resident of St. John's, and was well known in the city. He leaves a wife and six children, the youngest being 4 and the oldest a boy, aged 17. The Inspiration left her on January 14th, and arrived in Lisbon on the 28th. The sad duty of conveying the news to the unfortunate man's family devolved upon Rev. Mr. Nicholis of St. Michaels Church. The News extends sincere sympathy to the sorrowing family. |
