Edinburg Evening Courant
Scotland, July 25, 1772

"Captain Hunt, in the sloop Sally, from New York to Charles-Town, was cast away the 4th of May, on Cape Look-Out shoals, 10 leagues from land. The vessel and cargo are entirely lost, with seven persons; the rest of the people, with much difficulty, got safe to shore, 15 in number; in the boat, after being in her 15 hours. The Captain was once knocked overboard, but with much difficulty was got in."
