'We are sorry to have to communicate the loss of
the hom3ward-bound West Indiaman Isabella, of
500 tons, commanded by Capt. WETHERIIEAD, on
a voyage from Grenada, bound to London, laden
with sugar, cotton, and rum; she sailed with the
Fleetfrom the West Indies, under convoy, and put
into Ireland, and delivered part of her cargo, from
whence she was proceeding for London, but last
evening the wind blowing fresh from the S. E. and
foggy, she unfortunately struck on the horse-bank
near South Sea Castle, fell on her beam ends, and
filled. All the Boats were washed over-board except
one, hanging over her stern, which also broke loose,
and was drifting fast to leeward, when the Captain,
at the great hazard of his life, sprang over-board and
regained her, and brought her to the Ship, took out
three of the Ship's Crew, and landed at South Sea
Castle. Vessels were immediately sent out to her
assistance, and happily brought all the remainder of
the Crew on shore, except one man, who fell from
the mizen-top into the water, and was drowned.—
Should the weather continue moderate, a great part
of the rum may be saved, but if otherwise, she will
soon go to pieces.
