The Edenton Gazette, Dec. 10, 1821 December 10, 1821
   SHIPWRECK -- On Friday, the 9th of November last, the schooner "Captain's 
Boat," CAPT. GREAVES of Currituck, from Charleston, bound to this port, upset 
in a squall off Pamplico Sound, about 25 miles belowe the marshes, and all on 
board perished. Among the persons on board, we learn was MR. ---- FISHER of 
Powell's Point, and MR. PAULUS EMELUS NIEL of Edenton, who was returning in 
the vessel with the proceeds of the outward cargo. Two of the men drifted on 
shore at Chickanacomico Banks and were buried; one of whom, from his dress, 
was supposed to be the unfortunate NIEL. The schooner has since been boarded 
by friends of the deceased; but she appeared to have been scuttled, and robbed 
of everything on board.
