April 15th, two three-masted vessels, the George E. Klinck,bound from Long Cove, Me., for New York, with a cargo of stone,and the Roger Drury, bound from St. John, N. B., for City Isl-and, with a cargo of laths, struck on Hawes shoal, in Nantucketsound, during heavy weather in the night, the latter being ashore onlya short distance outside of Cape Poge.
