MANY EISHEIINNEN IIISI IN SIIIHNN Schooner Orion, of Grand Banks Went down and Nineteen Perished. Nonrir Svnrusv, N. S , Nov. 5-All hope of ever seeing the Newfoundland fishing schooner Orion, with ber captain and crew of eighteen souls, has been given up. Ono month ago the schooner was last seen oil’ Battle Harbor, when she was leaving for Grand Banks, her home port. Shortly after the Orion 'sailed o. terrible southwest gale sprung up which wrought much, havoc to the fishing craft.Sincs then fierce gales have swept the court. and in one of them the Orion is believed to have gone down with all hands. The vessel was oivnedly George Buffett of Grand Binks, and commanded by Edward Evans. All the crew, with few except- ions leave wives and large families. ~ Another schooner came to grief during last week’s storm, theflshing craft King iihcr,owned by Fred Rowe, of North Sydney. At the time tho Kiiigfisher sue- oee led in making Ki-ily‘s Uove, but after wards parted her cables and was driven hard shore on the beach. The crew reached ashore safely and walked to North Sydney. The vessel is likely a total wreck, and uninsured. During the blow four vtsseis, lying at anchor lu North Sydney harbor, had ir. narrow escape from going to the bottom as a result of the Nova Scotia schooner Lily, dragging her anchors, followed im- mediately by the - Gloucester selncr Madam ~ doing likewise. Both crafts crashed into Gloucester' seiners Priscilla Smith and Victoria, and for a time things oolrcl bud. The Priscilla Sinitii had th _law of her forcgnfl' torii away, side lights demolished, and thc point of hor boom broken. This damage was caused bv the Madam, which escaped urilnjured. The ia-at laden schooner swung] around and crashed into the fiery and was prevented from doing further damage by jamming between the other two crafts. 0RION’S WREOKAGE WASHED ASIIORE. r St. John, Nfld., Nov. ii-It is foircd that many llvsa were lost in the last heavy gale.
