"Struck on Diamond Shoals 8:30 of the 23d inst. and went to pieces at 3:30 p.m. on the 24th. Out of a crew of 7 men, 6 were lost. The vessel stranded about 9 miles east of the cape point. Owing to this and the thick weather the vessel was not discovered or its fate known, until the appearance of the one survivor."
