INTEREsre ... Raw OP A LOST SHIP,—CRomAITT,
following letter, written in pencil, was
APRIL 9'
found in a common bottle on the beach of Golepie, on
Monday afternoon, by a young fisherman named Donald
Sennedy.
The sheet was rolled crosswise, as if done
hurriedly, and put into the bottle in such a manner
that it could not be taken out without breaking the
bottle. The letter will be read with mournful interest,
as the only account that has been received of the
ill-fated vessel, the Isabella Anderson, of this port :
" December 19, Ship Isabella Anderson, of Inverness.
Our canvas has given way. The raging waves dash
with fury around our helpless barque. The rocky
coast of Norway will soon be our fate. This is my last
work, and I accomplish it with the braveness of a British
sailor. My love to my affectionate wife. The same to
my beloved landly. Evermore, farewell ! Joint
SA.NDERSON"—The writer did not belong to Inverness,
but is supposed to be a man shipped at Leith, in roan
of one who left the vessel there.
