“Alone at Lighthouse, Guard Dies in Fire,” The Globe and Mail. December 15, 1939. Page 17. --- Moncton, N.B., Dec. 14 (CP). - Discovery of the charred body of a lone lighthouse guard on isolated Miscou Island in far northern New Brunswick was reported here today by Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The body of Charles R. Brune, whose family had tended the lighthouse for three generations, was found in the fire-swept ruins of an oil shed on the island. The fire had not spread to the lighthouse.

Entangled Whale Sighted Near Miscou Island, New Brunswick

A badly entangled North Atlantic right whale was recently sighted near Miscou Island off the coast of New Brunswick. The whale has been identified as #3312, a male who was born in 2003 to #1612 and is sighted regularly in Canadian waters. He was seen on July 13th by a surveillance flight but they had to go back to refuel and subsequent attempts to find him and launch a rescue effort have not been successful. He was photographed in 2008 with scars from a previous entanglement meaning this is at least the second time he has been entangled in fishing gear and is part of the 59% of North Atlantic right whales who have been entangled at least twice. His mother, #1612, also has scars from an entanglement - further showing the brutal, multi-generational impact of the continued aggression of the fishing industry towards these whales.
