All ON BOARD LOST.
A Young Lady School Teacher on a Vessel That Capsized.
Mobile, Ala., October 5. – The schooner Alice Graham, Captain Louis Graham, which left here Sunday night for Portersville, having on board Miss Susie Herron, a young lady school teacher who was bound for Dauphin island to open the public school there Monday, has been wrecked and CAPTAIN GRAHAM, MISS HERRON and the mate, name unknown, were lost. These were all the souls on board the schooner, which is lying bottom up two miles off J. J. Delchap’s place. A tug will be sent down tomorrow to search for bodies. Charles Graham, brother of Captain Graham, is satisfied of the identity of his brother’s vessel and is confident all on board were drowned.
