A sad accident happened at Pleasant Harbor, Halifax county, on Thursday last, by which Captain George BORGAL lost his life. He was piloting the schooner Barcelona out of the latter place, when suddenly a heavy squal struck the ship, the ropes entangling him about the body and fearfully mangling him. Both his legs were broken, as also his arms, and face frightfully torn. He lived only an hour and a half after. The deceased, who was in his 58th year, was a man of upright character, honest in his dealings and a model of unselfishnes in his home. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn the loss of a kind and devoted husband and father. The children are Captain William, at home, Aylmer, in the Northwest, and Essie and Muriel, going to school.
