FATAL COLLISION.

LOWESTOFT.—The following narrative, which we
give without note or comment, leaving it to tell its
own tale, and our readers to form their own opinions
of the transaction, has caused great sensation in this
town. On Friday, the 31st ult., the sloop Samuel and
Eliza, of Goole, left that port with coals, for London,
her crew consisting of Samuel Skinn, master, William
Brough, mate, and William Lee, seaman ; the
master's wife was also on board. They proceeded
on their voyage without any material occurrence
until about midnight of Saturday, the Ist instant,
when they were between the Dudgeon and
Failness. They were reaching to the southward,
with a strong wind from the south• west, and
observed a schooner reaching towards them on the
larboard tack, and on nearing them they hailed her
repeatedly, notwithstanding which, she continued her
reach, and came directly into the sloop, striking
her on the larboard midships with great violence,
staving the upper works completely in, tearing away
the rigging and sail, and reducing her almost to a
sinking state. The master then demanded the name of
the schooner, and requested their assistance, informing
those on board, that his vessel was in a sinking state, and
going down as fast as possible. The master and crew
of the schooner took no notice, when Skinn was
obliged to jump on board the schooner with a lan-
tern to ascertain her name and obtain assistance.
In about five minutes after he was returning to his
sloop, and fell between the two vessels, and was
crushed nearly to death. His crew succeeded with
much difficulty in getting him on board, and carried
him down to the cabin, when be informed them that
the name of the schooner was the Alert, of Ipswich,
and in a few minutes afterwards expired. The
vessels having cleared themselves of each other, they
immediately commenced pumping, and the schooner
soon afterwards bore down upon them and asked
them how they got on, and received for answer, that
the master was dead, and the vessel in a sinking state,
when, without taking any further notice, or making
any effort to rescue them, they proceeded on their
voyage, leaving the disabled vessel and crew to ther
fate. The crew continued at the pumps, assisted by the
master's wife, each taking their turn at the pump and
helm, and by the utmost exertion, only kept her
afloat till S A.M. of Sunday, when finding she was
rapidly sinking under them, they got into the boat
lying on the deck, being unable to launch her from
exhaustion, and providentially as the vessel sunk,
she floated off the deck. They were soon after-
wards picked up by the schooner Swan, of Fowey,
Richard Ham, master, and were the same evening
landed at this port in a state of destitution: The crew
have since been forwarded to their'homes by that ex-
cellent institution the Shipwrecked Mariner's Society.
Poor Skinn went down with his vessel. His wife
is, we believe, a native of this town. The crew spoke
in terms of the highest admiration at the fortitude
which she displayed upon this,to her, peculiarlydistress-
ing occasion ; for eight hours she was at the pump and
helm in turn, with scarcely any other clothing on
than that with which she rushed on deck when the
collision took place. The crew also desire to return
their grateful acknowledgments for the kindness they
received from the master and crew of the Swan, by
whom they Were rescued from a watery grave.—Nor-
wich Mercury.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—About a fortnight ago,
a sow, the property of a fanner at Scotherne, rear Lincoln,
brought forth the large number of 15 pigs, being two more
than the sow had teats for. The extra two were presented
to a labourer close by to bring up by hand, but finding them
rapidly sinking, the though struck him of putting them to
a bitch from which he had just drowned the pups, and
which had an abundance or milk : singular to relate, she at
once took to them, and has continued ever since to suckle
and watch over them with the anxious care of a mother,
barking at any stranger who approaches near her. The
above fact may be witnesmed at Dlr. Beck's, Scotherne.—
Stamford Mercury.
WORKSOP.—EARLY WlNTER.—Shortly after Mid-
night, on the 3d instant, King Winter clothed the trees,
plants, &c., in this neighbourhood with his snowy mantle.
