CARDIFF, Auo. 13.—A fine iron steam-ship called the Loire,
Captain Cock, was lost on Lundy Island, during thick weather, at
an early hour yesterday morning. She left this port for Bordeaux,
with a carp of between GOO and 700 tons of coals, and, it was said,
was pursuing the usual course down the Bristol Channel when she
encountered a thick fog; and, notwithstanding the usual precau-
tions being taken, about half-past three o'clock she struck on the
rocks on the north of Lundy Island. Every effort was then made
by the officers and crew to get her off. All their exertions, how-
ever, failed. She continued a fixture on the reef; and, after
hanging on the rocks some six hours or so, she broke in two, and
her stern half slid off and sunk. Fortunately, however, the whole
of the crew were enabled to save themselves. They were taken
up by the pilot boats and landed here. is
