SHIP CITY OF EDINBURGH.
Extract of a Letter from the Captain, W. F. Baker, dated
Plymouth, Nov. 30, 1886.
I regret that I have to inform you, that yesterday morning
blowing a very heavy gale, the City of Edinburgh drifted,
with two anchors ahead-80 fathoms of chain, with 31 fathoms
upon the other, but again brought up, and rode for about half
an hour, when tilt wind shifted in a perfect hurricane to N. W.,
and I found the ship drifting again, and was convinced that the
attruad chain or anchor had parted. Seeing there was not any
e‘hance of saving the ship, and lives of the passengers and
crew, by any other means, I ordered the masts to be cut away,
which, fortunately, was very promptly executed, and, as I an-
ticipated, she was immediatel., brottglit up, and rode secure,
although within 200 yards or the rocks. Five minutes' delay
must have been tttehded With destruction to the ship and
Cargo, and lives Or 1111 on board. In the afternoon, the gale
having abatea, I
went on shore to engage a steam vessel to tow
the ship into Catwater, but could not succeed in making arrange-
ments with the commanders bf either of the Dublin steam vessels,
thq only ones fit Plymouth. I then sent to the Admiral, to re-
Tsest Ite services of the Government steamer, which he would
Willingly have given me, but she was out of repair. I then
engaged three trade boats to take the ship in for 25/., and at
the time I am writing this we are getting our anchors, and
trust that inn it* hours he will be safely moored in Catwater.
I troWri a protest yesterday and have taken every step, in con-
jittiction with Mr. Beckford, who has kindly rendered me
every assistance, to have the necessary documents to receive
from the underwriters, and to re-equip the ship with the
greatest economy. The vessel has not suffered the least in
the httll, and I hope in three weeks to be again ready for sea.
This is a most unfortunate business, but it is a casualty I
could not prevent; I feel I have done my duty, it is useless to
repine. I have the gratification of hearing every person say
that it is a most miraculous preservation of the ship, and that
it was only by the promptmanner in which I cut away the masst
that it could have been accomplished.
