Part of her materials were saved by the laudable inhabitants of Popes harbour, who have been remunerated for their services by the Underwriters with the sum of three hundred and twenty dollars.

[From another section] Distressing Shipwreck: The sch. Mary, Capt. Hadley from hence bound to Pictou was totally lost on Black Rock near Louisburg C.B. 17th ult. ; the Captain, passengers and crew (eleven inn number) perished. A gentleman belonging to this town who furished us with this information was presennt at the interment of the unfortunate sufferers. He states that the inhabitants plundered every article of the cargo they could lay their hands on with seeming unconcern for the dead bodies laying on the shore. The plunderers consisted partly of women. Our informant has related one circumstance truly horrible - When he first visited the wreck of the above schooner he discovered a female on the beach naked - he picked up a piece of linen which lay near her with which he covered the body; that on his return from digging a grave, he had the mortification to see the female robbed of her covering and two gold rings from off her finger - also the jackets and shoes from several men who lay near her. After burying 9 men and 2 women, all that could be found, he repaired to Sydney and represented the circumstance to His Excellency Major-General Ainslie who immediately ordered a Magistrate with a party of soldiers to the spot to take possession of any goods that might have been driven on shore; and who has also promised to punish any persons who might be found in possession of any such property to the value of one shilling.
