LNTERpooL SHIP OFF THE HUMBER.—
Loss OF A
burden and which hails from Liverpool, was
On Saturday 4 large ship called the Vaucluse, about
1,000 tons Ur
I
lost on the Hale Sand at the mouth of the Humber. The
in the afternoon, the wind blowing at the
Vaucluse, which
was commanded by Captain Nelson, only
left Hull on Saturday morning for the north, laden with
salt. She got down the river and entered the North Sea
about 3 o'clock
time from W.N.W. The gale at this hour was raging
furiously,
and as the ship was rather light, Captain Nelson
determined to return to the Humber. The vessel, however,
would neither wear nor stay, and drifted broadside on to the
Hale Sand. She Was at once thrown on ber beam ends, so
that her yard became embedded in the sand. The sea ran
very high, and broke constantly over the stranded ship.
Her perilous position was observed by the crew of the Donna
Hook lifeboat, and they at once put off to the rescue
and
Eleven of the crow were taken off and safely landed,
as it was found impracticable for the lifeboat tore e
turn, the
e
remainder of the crew, five in number, andHumb
pilot, left in the ship's boat. Great fears were entertained
for their safety, as they were seen to drift out into
was to the
German Ocean. On Sunday morning nothing
seen of the boat or any of the crew. On Monday afternoon,the
however, the men arrived in Hull, having landed on
Lincolnshire coast on Sunday. It is feared that the Vau-
cluse will become a total wreck. When she left Hu:l
Admiral Fitzroy's storm signal was hoisted.
