DREADFUL L Bs OF TH a BRITISH SHIP WALTON MUN.
CASTER.—On Sunday, the copy of a despatch from the
English Consul at Caldera, on the coast of Chili, was
posted at Lloyd's, announcing the wreck of the British
ship Walton M uncaster, on the 30th June, and the loss of
nearly the whole of the crew, and it is feared some pas-
sengers. The ill-fated ship left London for South America
about six months ago. She had loaded a cargo at Canaral,
and was returning to Caldera on her way to Liverpool,
when she became becalmed and went on the rocks. The
Consul thus reports the catastrophe The British barque
Walton TAI uncastt r, Mr. Alounsey, master, of Whitehaven,
on leaving Canaral, about forty miles north of this place,
in the litter part Of last month, drifted upon a reef of
rocks, in consequence of the wind failing and a heavy
swell setting in upon the land. A boat was lowarel to
convey on shore the captain's wife, a Custom-house officer,
and ten seamen, which boat was caps:zed, and, with the
exception of the officer, all on board perished. A bee-.t
from the British ship Dennis Brundris, with five men on
board, in attempting to rescue the master, mate, and three
or four of the crew (who have since arrived safe), was
swamped, and four out of the five were drowned. The
governor of this port, and the captain of the ship, have
assured me that all assistance in their power was rendered
by the authorities, and that it was impossible to send
further aid horn here." Another communication,
received by the charterers of the ship, states that same
of the passengers on board the Walton Muncaster were
drowned. The ship was built at Whitthaven in 1855,
and was insured.
