As the master of a fishing boat was two days ago pur-
suing his avocations, about five miles north of Cape
Antifer, he perceived part of the hull of a vessel drift-
ing near him. He immediately steered towards it
with the intention of taking it in tow into Etretat,
but finding that he could not manage it he stranded
it on the nearest part of the coast he could reach,
which was near Fahamp. Oa examination of the
wreck it was found to be a part of the starboard
side of a vessel, and measured twenty-six metres in
length. On a copper plate affixed to one of the ribs
were the words "Hopwood and Armstrong, London,
registered June, 1350." On one of the plants the mas-
ter of the fishing boat, when he first discovered the
wreck, distinctly made out the word " Woodcock,"
which was probably the name of the va,sel ; but when
the wreck grounded this plank could not be found, or
the letters which were painted bad been rubbe.3 off. All
that can be saved of this piece of wreck will be deposited
