    "Westerly hasoften bowed in deep sorrow over the loss of hersons at sea. A few years since,her tears were elicited afreshin respect to the fate of Capt. Peleg Saunders, and his mate,Erastus Bliven. Captain Saunders, born Oct 16, 1820, afterspending15 years at sea, in different positions and commands,sailed in 1856, as masterof the ship "Mary and Jane," from NewYork to Dundee, in Scotland. On his return voyage, loaded withNewcastle coal, he was disabled, and obliged to put backto Corkfor repairs. Sailing again in November, 1856, he was neverheard from.It is believed that the severe gale that shortlyafter swept over the North Atlantic, caused the foundering ofthe ship. The age of Captain Saunders was thirty-six; that ofMr. Bliven, twenty-six. As Captain Saunders was an exemplaryman,kind and faithful in every office of life, and rose to hisposition by his ability, assiduity, and integrity, he wasgreatly mourned. He left a widow and threedaughters."
