FOUNDERING OF A' SLOOP IN TILE
• ' CHANNEL.

One of the most distressing cases of shipwreck which
has occurred in the Irish Channel for a long time was
repdrted at Greenock on Monday afternoon. Captain
Watson, the master and owner of the ill-fated' vessel—a
sloop, called the Nelly, of Belfast—sailed from Ayr for
Belfast on Tuesday last week, and on Friday his
vessel foundered during a gale, a few miles from
the entrance to Belfast Lough, his wife and four children
going down, with her, whils a fifth, a boy, who was got
into the small boat belonging to the sloop, died in a state
of delirium, in the arms of his father, on the afternoon of
the succeeding day. When the father and son got into
the boat, it was found that they had no oars, and the
fragile craft drifted all night at the mercy of the waves.
At daybreak, on Saturday morning, the poor lad began to
sink, andthen became delirious. At the intervals of cessa-
tion from baling out the water, which was always more orless
necessary, to keep the boat afloat, the father would take
the boy in his arms and nestle him in his breast, in the
hope of infusing some heat into him, but again a wave
would break and fill the tiny craft, and, in consequence,
he had again to lay him down till he baled out a portion
of the water. The poor boy continued in a state of deli-
rium till about two o'clock on Saturday, when death put
an end to his sufferings. By this time the father was
himself becoming very weak ; and he reports that
be felt conscious of his own mind beginning to
give way. He laid the body of the boy out in the
bottom of the boat, reluctant to commit it to the deep.
During the day a Norwegian brig hove in sight, and took
Watson on board. The poor fellow, besides losing his
wife and family, has lost every shilling's worthof property
which he possessed. When asked why he did not consign
the body of his son to the sea after he died, Watson
answered, with tears in his eyes, " The body of the boy
was the last vestige of all that was dear to me in the
world; if I saved myself, I thought I would like to have
the body of one of my family laid beneaththe turf, so that
I might visit the spot again."
