On the night of the 29th of June, the schooner Elizabeth, carrying a cargo of pig iron, encountered a tragic incident on Lake Ontario. The vessel, bound from Kingston to Hamilton, suffered a leak between False Duck and Nine Mile Point. As a result, the Elizabeth quickly sank in approximately 16 fathoms of water. Fortunately, the captain and crew managed to save themselves by escaping in a small boat. Despite the successful rescue, the property loss from the sinking amounted to $5,000. Thankfully, no lives were lost in the incident.
