      Some time in the latter end of September, two young men, Palmer STRANG and Chas STRANG of Lot 7, P.E.I. left that place in an open boat for Miramichi, where they arrived safely and having transacted some business and taking on board 12 bbs. of roach lime, left for their home at West Point on Wednesday 2nd Oct., the day of the big blow - where they have not arrived as yet. Great fears are entertained that they perished in the gale. - Summerside P.E.I. 'Progress'
