MELANCHOLY OCCURRI•YCR

[From the " Proof°. Chronicle."]

- • •
We have again the melsachnly dnty imposed upon
us of recording another instance of the dreadful
consequences which uot unfrequently Hon ham 11,
over confident reliance art,.the safety •f barks of
small dimensions, in combating with the force of
wind and wat.r. Ott Thursday last fuer gentle-
men, bilis Gerrard, itsq. brother to Sir Was- Ger-
reed, Bart, of Gareswood, in this county; the Rev.
Francis Crathorne; Catholic chaplain to Sir Wil-
liam, and Mr. Adamson, of Ashton-in-the-WI!.
lows, and his eldest son, went out from Southport
in a pfeasure boat, belonging to Mr. Gerrard with A
fisherman, named John Jackson, to enjoy the &-
version of fishing. About eight o'clock in the evrop.
ing the boat was seen a considerable distinct nut si
seas and was shortly afterwards missed by the twr-
sons looking from the shore; but as no one saw it
actually upset, a hope was entertained that the party
had permed over to Lytham.
Nest morning (yesterday) a messenger
.was Pent
to the latter place, who brought track intelligence,
that they had not been seen there; but the dread.
ful tidings of their fate were announced in the
course of the day, by two of the lifeless bodies,
those of Mr, Adamson, jun. and the fisherman be-
ing washed on shore. The other bodies had not
been picked up when the last accounts left South-
port.
The families and intimate friends of the unfortu-
nate suffereis will long lament this plaid casualty;
but there are others, who cannot be classed precisely
under either of these heads, who will yet have bitter
cause to mourn. The poor and theafflicted, within
many miles of Gareswood, have lost, in the Rev.
Mr. Crathorne, a physician who was in the daily
habit of administering, gratuitously, to the bodily
diseases of all who solicited the aid of his medicines
and utl vice. Hundreds of patients too poor to afford
say other fee, than their grateful thanks, have, by
his frittering skill, been reinstated in the enjoyment
of health and strength; and now live to bless ki•
memory, and grieve at his untimely ends

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK AND WONDER
