LOSS OF THREE FISHING BOATS, WITH THE ViLIOLII OE, 1115
CREWS, OFF THE LAND'S END.
On Friday night, whilst the Mount's Bay fishing boats
were drifting for mackarel, some leagues off the Land's
End, they encountered a severe gale of wind, and being
unable to get in their nets, owing to the heavy sea,
were
compelled to ride out the storm, anchored as it were by their
nets. In this perilous situation three of the boats were
overwhelmed and sunk, consigning the whole of their crews.
thirty-three in number, to a watery grave. This lament-
able event has plunged numerous families into the deepest
distress, leaving a large number of widows and orphans en-
tirely without the means of support. Such an accideattos
never before occurred at this period of the year.
