S. TORNOWAY, AUG. 22.—0 n Wednesday last, the
Princess Royal fishery cutter, Captain Stewart, hile
on her way to Stornoway, fell in with the wreck of a
large barque drifting on her beam ends, and took her in
tow. The barque was found to be the Witch, of Lon-
don, Brown master, bound from Liverpool, with salt, to
DaFtatc. The chart was incorrect, and the rock on
which the vessel struck was laid down at about two
cables' length from Glass Head, while the actual distance
was found to be one mile. The vessel was under full sail
at the time the accident happened. She drifted off im-
mediately after striking, making water, and the salt of
of
course melted. The crew took to their boats, and g
safely ashore. The Princess Royal, after towing her for
some time, came to Stornoway for instructions, and re.•
turned, took her again in tow, anti would have brought
her into the harbour had not the wind calmed. On Sa-
turday morning the Mary Jane was dispatched; but
owing to the boisterous state of the weather could not
tow her in. The wreck was therefore anchored in
Holm Bay until yesterday morning, when it was
brought by the steamer into the harbour.—lnverness
