DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LlFE.—Eight
lives have just been lost at Aberayron, near Aberystwith,
under the following. circumstances :—A schooner named the
Glynaeron, having just been completed, set out on her first
voyage for Cardiff. A party consisting of the master and
owners, and their friends, went in the vessel for a brief trip,
taking with them some boats by which to return. After
being out some time they all left the schooner and entered
their boats. One of these which carried a sail was ocpied
by eight persons, principally servants of those in thew ther
boats. In tacking for the harbour of Aberayron some water
entered the boat, which frightening some on board, they
made a rush towards the mast. In a few minutes the boat
capsized and sank, and the unfortunate people were seen
struggling for life. The other boats had pushed off, but the
master of the sehooner saw the accident; he instantly put
back his vessel, but before be could reach the spot all, except
David Evans, the son of the turnpike-keeper, had sunk to
rise no more. This was a young lad, who was eventually
rescued in a state of exhaustion. The names of the deceased
are :—Lewis Lewis, of Aberayron ; Evan Evans. son of Mr.
Johns Evans, of Cilforch ; Mary Jones and John Davies, ser-
van t
at Cilforch, and David Jones and two female servants
from LlYswen-mill. Six of the bodies have been recovered.
