The Elizabeth City (N.C.) Star, says, that the captain of a small craft who
came up there from Currituck, informed that a vessel on her passage from
Savannah to Ocracock, fell in with a schooner about ten day's previous,
with her foremast carried away and hanging along side, her sails very
much torn, and her rigging and everything about her in a deplorable situation;
saw nobody on board.  In going very near a dog came up from below and
barked furiously, and the captain smelt such a disagreeable stench that he
steered off and left her.  He could not ascertain what her name was.
