Wilmington Gazette, Thurs. Feb. 4, 1801 February 4, 18j02
   On Saturday last, the sloop, "Victory," CAPT. BUCKEY from Guadaloupe, 
loaded with Rum, Sugar and Coffee, consigned to MR. JOHN BARCLAY of 
Wilmington, was cast away on New Inlet Bar. The vessel soon after went to 
pieces, and but 12 Hogsheads of Rum of the whole cargo saved. Except the 
Captain and Mate, every person on board perished: amongst whom was MR. HENRY 
HOSKINS, whose body was picked up and brought to Wilmington and interred in 
the Churchyard on Tuesday.
   MR. HOSKINS was a native of Wilmington, and although but 21 years of age, 
by his explemplary conduct had gained the affections of all who knew him.
