The brigantine Brothers was wrecked on the east side of the island during a westerly gale. She was trying to seek the shelter of the Arkill Bay anchorage when she ran aground on the rocks at Maddagalla Point. There was a heavy swell running at the time, so she quickly broke up. Five of the crew managed to make the shore but two were drowned. The Brothers was built in 1860 and had a full cargo onboard at the time of her loss.
