SHIPWRECKS ON THE IRISH COAST.
(From the Dublin Freeman.)
We regret to state that during the very severe gale
which blew on Wednesday night serious disasters oc-
curred to several vessels in and about the Bay of
Dublin, attended in one instance with the loss of the
entire crew. The wind, which commencee to blow
from the N.N.E. with great force about sunset, ac-
companied by heavy rain, increased in fury as the
night advanced, till about ten o'clock it became a perfect
storm, and continued so, almost without any cessation
or diminution, till nearly daybreak. The night was
very dark, a circumstance which, added to the fury
of the gale and the incessant rain that fell almost in
torrents, rendering the situation of vessels at sea one
of imminent danger. Great anxiety was manifested
during yesterday by various parties whose relatives
and friends had sailed on the previous evening from
this port or from Kingstown, lest they might not
have passed safely through the dangers of as fearful a
night as has been experienced for some time past in
the bay and along the neighbouring coast.
In the course of the evening the Glasgow Com-
pany's splendid iron steamer Herald, Captain Stokes,
started from the North-wall, on her passage to Glas-
gow, having* on board a large number of passengers,
large quantity. of merchandise and a
together with a
considerable number of cattle. The wind was blow-
ing swiftly up the river at the time of her departure,
but notwithstanding, the gallant vessel proceeded boldly
to sea. She had gone her course out
necessary
of Dublin Bay, and
i
had opened Lambay Island, when it became
to bring the steamer's head to the wind i n order to
steer her course for Glasgow. On this being done
the s essel encountered the full force of the heavy sea
then running; the waves broke over her incessantly,
deluging the deck; after shipping two or three
heavy seas, which all but drowned the cattle
on board, and placed the lives of the pas-
sengers and crew in imminent danger, Cap-
tain Stokes was reluctantly compelled to give orders
to put about and bear up for the nearest shelter
(Kingstown harbour), which admirable as it is as a
harbour of refuge, artificially constructed, was by
no means proof against the fearful tempest of Wed-
nesday night. On arriving at Kingstown the anchors
were let go, but the steamer, from her great length
and the force of the gale, continued to drag them till
it was found necessary, after a short stay in the har-
bour, to slip the cable, put steam on, and return to
Dublin. It appears that the steamer drifted while
in the harbour, and that some vessels lying there
doing her
house on deck,
