Notes
General:
Seamen Charles Hill, William S. Hutchins & John S Rand have adjacent Truro death records. all lost at sea, Sept 1845, along with seamen Thomas Kenney, John Grozer, James L.A. Grozer and John Small.Medical:
Captain William Hutchins commanded the schooner Altorf, of Provincetown. The crew consisted of eight men with all but one from Truro. The Altorf was reported on the fishing ground about the 20th of June, and again spoken with in lat. 46 about the last of August. She had then wet all her salt and put away for home, very deeply laden. Since then she had not been heard from, and undoubtedly foundered at sea. The vessel was about ten years old, and half her men insured at Provincetown.

Notes
General:
In the records of the King Hiram's Lodge they have Captain Caleb U. Grozier as a member of the Lodge. His middle name is listed as Uriah instead of Upham. Records indicate that in 1821 he commanded the Provincetown schooner Charles, owned by Joshua Freeman Grozier. In 1822 he commanded the schooner Hanna and Eliza on a voyage to the Western Islands.
The Philadelphia Gazette contains the details of a horrible tragedy of Piracy involving Captain Grozier.
On the 25th of Feb. a letter was received from the Commercial Agent at Matanzas, in which he states that the brig Attentive, Grozer of Boston, sailed on the 21st inst. from that port, and that on the same day was captured by a piratical schooner and all hands were murdered except one man who was concealed. They scuttled the vessel and deserted the brig, when he came out, put the vessel before the wind, and when within three miles of the shore she sunk, and that he saved himself by swimming on a plank, which was driven along towards shore by the sea breeze. The person who escaped was Alfred Hill, 2nd mate. The brig Attentive was bound for New York.
Before the Consular Commercial Agent of the U.S., Lewis L. Shoemaker appeared Alfred Hill, who was duly sworn, declared and said- That having on board was master, Caleb U. Grozier and the vessel sailed hence on Sunday, the 22nd day of February. That off Point Yaco, was boarded and captured by a piratical schooner, about sixty or seventy tons, full of men, armed with cutlasses, and having two large guns. He heard a heavy groan from the captain and heard him distinctly repeat these words, "Lord have mercy on my soul," and heard a scuffling on deck, and groans of the people. He has no doubt, from the noise he heard, and the appearance of blood, the captain and crew were murdered. 27
