The Wiartun Record is pubbsliing a serita of t,ile» of the Georgim Bay, : nd last week gave ils rea^'ers the f.icts le- garding the foundering of the sailing vessel Regina, nh eh was lost near Cove Island, in l.*sl. Th ; td to f.fl he .VI- vance lived in t)a-en .Sound at the tine and was well ac<]uu'nted with Captain Tripp and deeply deplored, with n.auy others, hia loss at the lime. The eJitor of this |>ai>er, t'lu, was the tirst and only man to write the story of the lo*s fomi the lips uf the survivors iheuvMivesâ€" Lawrence, Vouna and the other ujhu. .Vfter the aSaiiJonnicnt of iho vessel »iir| Capt i:n Tripp these men lauded at Tob^'r- mory and walked all the way to Dwen Sound, where we found them iu ihe owner's ottice one niorniiiu ••ly shortly after their arrival, and got h minute story of the wreck from their lips, which was published in the Toronto" Globe. Shortly afterwards repre.sentafives ot other newspapers called on these men but they would not talk sny more; their mouths wure shut and c aild U"t be pried ofcTi. They evidently tlimight they had already talked too muchâ€" as they ceriaiu- ly had, as wil lie gleaned truiu the followiog remiuiscence as published in the lleord: T le crew of the llegina coosiated of Captain .\uu s Trip[>. .Inliu Voung and Wui.
