wistrawaysta, JAN. 14,
On Thursday night, about tea o'clock, a most
violent storm came un here, and continued the
whole of the night ; a great deal of hail tell, accom-
panied with the most tremendou. thunder and
lightning. The wind, which was generally
from the N. W. was excessively high ; and
several windows were blown in. and many roofs
and chimneys damaged by it. The gale did
not subside till Friday evening. On Saturday
night we had a considerable fall of snow. The
post did not arrive, on Sunday evening. till four
hours after the usual time.
During the storm on Friday, the greatest appre-
hension prevailed respeeing the shipping in the
Channel. The sea was tenibly agitated, and the
waves frequently made a passage over die different
piers of this harbour. In the midst of the tempest
two vessels (the Europe, Steel; and the Ranger,
Walker) came into this pert under circumstances
the most dangerous and harrassing to the feelings
of the numerous spectators. 'llse latter sunk, but,
providentially, no lives were lost.
We are sorry to add, that the apprehensions al-
ready intimated, were too well founded. The 1.-
dean/. Bales, of Workington, with malt, from
Drogheda, was totally lest fun Friday] near the
South Head oUSt. Bees, and all on board perished !
The yob:, otts, also belonging to Workington,
is on shore near Rairenglass ; the people saved.
The Sally, —, of Maryport, is on shore on the
Isle of Walney ; the people saved.
A vessel appeared disinasted en Saturday, at
anchor off St. Bees Heads; (supposed to be about
eight miles from the shore), boats ke. were sent
from hence to her assistance ; and, it is said, that
site was seen on Sunday, with jury-masts rigged,
and standing towards the Isle of Man.
it is with pleasere we can present to our
readers a more full account than we before pub-
lished, of the very ertreeedisary case of re-
storation to life, after thirteen hours of suspended
animation, mentioned in this Paper a few days since.
During the violence of the storm, which took place
on the Eastern Coast, in the evening and night of
Sunday, December 15, 11105, a transport, with
troops on board, was wrecked at lissiogland, a
village, four miles from Lowestoft. A Serjeant of
the Otth Regimeat, who had been previously indis-
pos-d, either from fatigue, er intense cold, fell, ap-
parently lifeless, on the deck. His companions con-
sidered him dead, and many of them trod upon his
body, supposing it a mere corpse. After the crew
of the transport was landed, by the aid of some
boats, which were, providentially, near the ship, tf e
body of Serjeint Bees was laid on the shine. till
nppJrtanity for temoving it for burial shonld occur.
In that state it remained for two boils. It was
then placed in a cart, in which situatioa it was
met by Mr. WILLIAM H. Canwroor, of Beccles.
—Aler having heard of the distress to which
the crew had been exposed, humanity led to '
the examination of the body. Mr. Caowroor
thought there appeared more warmth round the
heart than is attendait on a corpse. He requested
the men, who were driving the cart, to go to the
inn. The body was placed in rather an upright
posture, on a bid, in warm blenkets. Every limb
was so stiff, that the clothes were obliged to be cut
of. For some time no pulse could be felt. Warm
Ranneh, and immersing the extremities in warm
water, wet* unremitt.ngly applied, for above an
hour, when a weak, irregular pulse appeared. The
ribs'were gently raised and depressed, to give the
lungs toom to inflate. and expel the air. Brandy
was ribbed on the chest; and, when signs of life ap-
peased, a little weak brandy and water was forced
into the mouth. After upwards of three hours un-
wearied application, to the surprise of the attend-
ants, and the unspeakable delight of Mr. Crow-
COOT. restewation became certain. The eiCenilfflce of
the case consi.ts in the simplicity of the means used,
and the capability of their general adoption, though
i no m-decal ail, or restorative apparatus can be ob-
i tamed.
