of Whitby, timber laden—was wrecked on the breakwater

on Sunday morning. The master and crow were in great
danger of perishing, as the sea was washing over the ship
in a manner that brought dread into the stoutest heart.
The master and crew of the cutter of the Princess Royal

were soon present with Manby's apparatus, and succeeded
in taking the sailors of the Eliza Hall safely ashore. The
vessel was broken to pieces, and the timber was floating about
in the afternoon. To the west side of Granton pier three
small ships, three lighters, and three boats went ashore,
though they had bewn riding or moored within the space
protected by the west breakwater of the harbour. They
are not likely, however, to suffer severely. At the outer

side of the west breakwater of Greaten Pier, the schooner

Victoria, of Middleforth, Denmark, in ballast, was driven
ashore on Saturday night. As soon as she struck, the
master and crew endeavoured to leap on the breakwater to
save their lives. All succeeded except one sailor, who fell
as soon as he had lighted on the slope of the breakwater,
and before he could regain his footing a heavy wave came

and washed him away. His body has not been recovered.
It is hoped the vessel will be got off. Two or three hundred
yards further west lies a large foreign brig, driven ashore
during the night. Her masts are gone, her bottom is seri-
ously damaged, and it is almost certain she will become a
total wreck. She was in ballast. The crew escaped. Still

further west, near Gianton quarry, another large foreign
brig is ashore on the rocks. One of her masts is gone, and,
from the dangerous position she is in, it is almost certain
she will not hold long together. She was coal laden. The
crew got safely ashore. We have not been able to ascertain
the names of the two last vessels. The tackling and sea-

men's clothing of all the wrecked vessels, with the excep-
tion of the last, will be partially if not wholly secured. Men,

horses, and carts, were engaged on Sunday afternoon driv-

ing away such things as could be landed.
Out from Granton there were four ships riding in ap-
parent safety, their anchors having caught hold of the
electric telegraph cable across the Firth, which prevented
them drifting further towards shore. But for the circum-

stances of their anchors holding on by the cable, two, if not
the whole four vessels, would have drifted on the rocks
west of Granton Pier.

culty in getting up or down the Clyde, and many of them
passed without touching here. We have not heard of any
lives being lost, although a vessel is reported to have 'been
seen in the Channel bottom up.
