We published several days ago a brief account furnished by telegraph, of the loss of the schooner Sam. Colt, Capt. Geo. Hilliard of Portland, while en route from New Jersey to New Bedford with a cargo of coal and spars. Further particulars have come to hand. The vessel was ashore on Nantucket Island, and some of the people of the island upon going to her, found only the crew - two deck hands and a colored cook - on board. These men stated that heavy storm was encountered and the vessel shoaled. A heavy sea was running at the time, and the schooner was tossed violently toward the beach, the waves washing over her, making it difficult for any to remain on board. The mate went up into the rigging, and while there a powerful wave washed him overboard. The captain went below for a moment, and on coming up started forward, but before he had gone far, was also washed from the deck, and no more was seen of him. This is the story told by the men, though they varied some in their statements. No one questioned the truth of what they said at this time, and they left Nantucket soon after, since which time, we understand, nothing has been heard from them. Who they were, or from what part of the country they came from, does not appear. A few day's subsequent to the finding of the vessel, the bodles of the captain and mate were found upon the beach at Nantucket, and marks of violence wore discovered. The bruises were of such a character that suspicions of foul play were at once excited, and since the arrival home of the remains, the friends of the deceased are very confident that the crew committed a double murder, and, to cover up their crime, ran the vessel ashore purposely and told the stories they did. The probability of this being true is strengthened by the fact that the vessel was over sixty miles off her course. Capt. Hilliard was an experienced navigator-had been over the route many times-and it could hardly be possible that the schooner should get so far away from the direct line. All the circumstances of the affair are so suspicious that efforts will undoubtedly be made to find the missing crew, and it is hoped the search may be successful. Cpt. Hilliard was a highly respected citizen of Portland, and the mate, George S. Banning, a young man twenty-eight years of age, resided in Haddam, whore he was much esteemed. The funerals of both were recently attended. --Hartford Courant, Hartford, Connecticut, May 10, 1866 Page 2 | |

| 1197 | | Report of death of Cpl Roger Lalonde. On February 1, 1953 RCAF Lancaster KB914, which had earlier been on an anti-submarine exercise, headed to Goose Bay, Labrador, to join in the search for a missing civilian aircraft. There were 9 crew members aboard the Lancaster. Cold weather conditions which included rain that soon became freezing sleet and heavy snow, made the flying difficult. The airplane, approaching Goose Bay for a landing suddenly had only two of its engines working; and to make matters worse the Goose Bay air base had to shut down temporarily because of the poor weather situation, and its Ground Control Approach (GCA) system was not available. So the Lancaster was ordered to divert to Torbay, Newfoundland, instead. With the continuing worsening weather, the loss of the plane's engine power, and a change in flight direction, the radio contact that ground personnel had had with the plane suddenly ended. Lancaster KB914 was declared missing. The search was hampered by more bad weather and, to make matters more difficult, there were two other missing aircraft that also required attention. On June 15, 1953 the wreckage of the Lancaster KB914 was spotted from the air. An RCAF ground search party flew out to the wreckage site to recover the human remains and to investigate the scene. On June 26 funerals were held in Greenwood, Nova Scotia, for the nine airmen-the ceremonies took place in the Catholic Chapel and in the Station Drill Hall. The body of each RCAF airman was then transported to his Canadian hometown for final burial. --Find A Grave Memorial ID 108328492 | |
