 severity, as four of the vessels had brothers on board, viz. : the Bart- 

 letts, of Westport, Me. ; the Maces of Newburyport, and the broth- 

 erg Powers and Moody of this town. Amos Stinson, lost in the J. 

 G. Dennis, was a brother to Ira, lost from the schooner Emma Fran- 

 ces, in the same gale. Capt. Powers, of the Nawadaha, was formerly
