"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."
"The Blue Book says we've got to go out and it doesn't say a damn thing about having to come back." --Captain Patrick Etheridge, USLSS
