necessary. Tho Royal Hunt Cup was carried off by Crater ,
whose success created general satisfaction in the Ring ; not
because the horse was at a long price, but because he is the
property of one cf the most straightforward men who have
for a number of years been on the turf. Isaac Woolcot,
the trainer, came in for a large share of congratulation,
because the horse was sent to the post in admirable condi-
, tien, and also because Woolcot proved the accuracy of his
judgment when he stated that " according to the trial
Crater could not lose."

TfIE LATE STORM.

GREAT YARMOUTH, JUNE 6.
Up to this date the little that has been heard
of the missing fishing boats, as reported'in The Sun
of Tuesday, has served only to confirm the most
dismal apprehensions. The lugger Champion has
been picked up disabled, with her nets entangled
about her, as if the storm swept away the unfortu-
nate crew before they had time to haul in: Part
of the stern of the smack Prince of Wales has also
been picked up, leaving little doubt as to her fate.
The missing vessels are the Contest and the Atalanta,
the property of Mr. Shuckford, who was owner also
of the Champion ; the Stamboul, a cruiser, belong-
ing to Mr. Utting ; the Paymaster, to Messrs. B.
and R. Ferm ; the Three Sisters, to Mr. J. F. Neave ;
the Planet, to Mr. Smith ; the Sylph, to Messrs.
Freeman and Bishop ; and another, the property
of Mr. H. Swann. The Royalist, of Gorleston, Mr.
Fisk's, and the James and Ann, of Sheringham,
Mr. Wests's, which sailed from this harbour,
together with four luggers and two cutters from
Lowestoft and two Yarmouth smacks, are also
among the missing. These luggers were manned
each by nine or ten men and one boy, and the smacks
by about half the number; so that the loss of fisher-
men on this part of the coast, and within a distance
of about a dozen miles, will fall very little short of
200 ; the number lost from Yarmouth alone is about
130. The number of families ruined, of women made
widows, and children fatherless by this appalling
calamity is painful to contemplate, the number of
children alone being upwards of 200. We under-
stand that a public appeal will be made on behalf
of these poor creatures who are now utterly desti-
tute, and surely Heavenborn charity never expended
itself on more deserving objects ! The fishermen
here are absolutely panic stricken numbers of boats
are lying idle in the roads, the men refusing to go
to sea. Several owners have made up for the season,
and landed their nets, so disheartened are they by
this havoc of their property. The pecuniary loss
directly entailed on the town, cannot be less than
£lO,OOO, and, as fishing is the staple trade of
the port, a large capital being invested in it,
and thousands of poor men living throughout the
year on what they are able to earn in the season,
it is difficult to estimate the indirect effects of the
catastrophe. On Monday six vessels sailed to the
North Sea in the expectation of being able to ascer-
tain some tidings of the missing boats or their
crews, but not a human being here cherishes the
faintest hope of their safety. It is a most remark-
able circumstance that these boats were in most
cases commanded by some of the oldest and most
experienced masters belonging to this port.
