BOAT ArrIDENT AND Loss OF SEVEN LIVES AT
PETNOUTH. —On Saturday afternoon a party of seven man of
MIS Royal Artillery and three women, the wives of royal
ertillesymen, left Plymouth Barbican in a boat for Bovisand,
en the eastern aide of the Sound, just opposite the Ply-
mouth Breakwater, and about three miles distant from the
gime whence they started. These men and women had
seine to Plymouth ia the earlier part of the day to attend
the market and procure supplies of food, he., for themselves
sad others of their comrades stationed at Borisand, where a
Batts fort and barrack are being built. It is said that some
of the party were the worse for the drink they bad taken
&rim their visit to the town. The weather was rather bois-
terous, but far from dangerous, when the boat cleared from
Plymouth. The greater part of the voyage was accomplished
safely, but when the-beat was off Bovieaad she was by some
arm capsized, and all the passengers and goods were
throws into the water. Five of the men and two of the
Vomit were drowned, and bad disappeared before help
strived. The other two mar and woman were picked up.
The woman, whose husband was one of the men drowned,
vas much exhausted, and it we. feared she would not
mover. The boat to which the accident occurred belayed
the Royal Artillery, and the men were all of them
more or 1,. used to the management of boats.
Tilt PRINCE CONSORT AND HER DISASTERS.
Ifs Prince Consort came into Plymouth Sound on Saturday
leseming from Kinptowe, sad shrilly afterwards she steamed
into Mumma, and oe Tuesday she is to resume her place in
the steam reserve ; Captain Vevey Min discharged to half-
gay, aad her akin and crew to their revered ships,
end the Royal Mariam returned to Storehouse
Barracks.
Prey inquiries made since the arrival of the Prince Cowart
at Ihrroopoet, ..ere are Martel ho believe that, althea
is laboured and strained
.very much in the gale
m Thursday week, she remains perfectly sound. The
pressoos of so much water in her is easily accounted for
without her leaking. She flipped green sea after green sea,
red Wog dead to the water did not discharge the water
tithes io ; and in name of her iron plating her lower
wattles are her feet un water, and it seems that in con.
sesame of the pressure of water the valves of the scuttles
were dimities& no that the water rushed in instead of going
eat. It was this which rendered paarpiag as n after
she lame into Kingstown harbour se when Rho was bom-
bs a a rough sea.
