WRECK Os mg FRANCIS YATIM—SCPPOSED Loss
OP ALL HAND6.—A letter was yesterday posted to the un-
derwriters' rooms at Liverpool, emanating from a Mr. Mur-
pluun, a magistrate, on the island of Coth, Argyllshire.
Tho writer states that on the 20th of last month a large
three-masted vessel went ashore on the wed oast of the
island, and became a total wreck. On examining portiot
of the wreck, Mr. Murpham picked tip a stern board, with
the name " Francis Yates, Bt. Ives' " painted on it." Ou
rtt, -withboa thed thleetvten essel the
$." marl eead bad odf (631 T ou
thegleft awrre."
The appearance of the body was that of a man who had
perished from exhaustion and cold. The cargo of the ship,
which consisted of deals, tar, and tallow, wog
Boating about the rocks on the coast ; and
owing to the heavy swell running in from the
Western Ocean a great quantity of it was being broken op
and turned away by the back water. As to the crew, with
rte exception of the deceased man found on board, there is
unfortunately no trace at the present time. That the
ill-
fated vessel was a Baltic trader there can be no doubt, as
her cargo clearly indicates her port of departure to have
been ones! those in the Baltic. It is alsoquite evident that
the vessel bad bores the brunt of the recent terrific gale
which swept the Baltic and the Western Bea, and produced
such a disastrous record in the shipping annals of the
northern porta of this country. The writer of the letter
alluded to states that in the absence of a Lloyd's agent on
the island he has taken charge of the wrack and cargo.
