Sch. Sultana left
port on October 19th for Western Bank, and has been absent seven weeks, to-day, and her

All not otherwise designated are, so far as we
can learn, single men. Most of them were natives of the Provinces, but have followed
fishing from this port several years Captain McDonald is a brother of Capt. James
McDonald, of sch. Falcon, of Gloucester. The vessel was 69.84 tons, built at Essex in
1869, owned by Andrew Leighton, insured in the Gloucester Mutual Insurance Office for
$3560, with $2000 on outfits.
