ANOTHER BOAT ACCIDENT AND LOSS

OF LIFE.

Intelligence has reached us of a sad occurrence,
attended by the loss of two lives, which took place
in the neighbourhood of Coleraine on Tuesday even-
ing last, the parties who have so suddenly met with
their death being Mr. Joseph M'Curdy, of the firm
of Messrs. J. and J. M'Curdy, merchants, Water-
side, Coleraine, and Miss Stevenson, an elderly.
Scotch lady, aunt to Mrs. M'Curdy. The circum-
stances of the case are peculiarly affecting. It seems
that a number of Scotch friends have been for some
time on a visit with Mr. and Mrs. M'Curdy, at
their residence, Castleroe, about two miles from
Coleraine, and in the neighbourhood of the
" Cutts," or famous " Salmon leap," on the river
Bann. After dinner on Tuesday evening Mr.
M'Curdy, Mrs. M'Curdy, her deceased aunt, and
their other friends, went out in an open boat to sail
on the Bann, on that part of the rivv above the
Cutts. Full of life and vigour, and igntrant of the
appalling fate which two of the happy party were
so soon to meet, they sailed down the stream in the
little boat, until suddenly, either through mistake
as to the locality, or not knowing their danger, they
found themselves approaching the rapids at the
Cutts, and the current being unusually strong, the
boat was carried onward in the impetuous stream.
It soon became evident that the boat must go over
the "leap," and, on seeing this Miss Stevenson,
seized with alarm, unfortunately leaped from the
boat into the stream. Another account tells us that
when the boat was passing over the Cutts the shock
threw Miss Stevenson out of the boat; we cannot
now say which is the correct statement, but certain
it is that when Miss Stevenson was observed in the
water, Mr. M'Curdy bravely jumped after her in
the hope of saving her life, being himself an excel-
lent swimmer, but in the heroic attempt he sacrificed
his own life. Owing to the rapidity of the stream
his efforts were futile ; he and Miss Stevenson
were both swept over the rapids, and Mr.
M'Curdy disappeared beneath the surface of the
water, no more to rise with life. Miss Steven-
, son,'s body did not sink ; it floated down the
stream, and when subsequently brought to
shore the vital spark of life had fled. Mean-
while the boat containing Mrs. M'Curdy and
the rest of the party also passed over the rapids
and kept its course in safety in the river below,
without further accident to any of those in it; but,
alas ! Mrs. M'Curdy was saved only to witness the
simultaneous drowning of her husband and her
aunt. From the boat she witnessed the death-
struggles of both, and her feelings may be easier
imagined than described. The spectacle was truly
heartrending. Dr. Barr was promptly in attend-
ance at the scene of the tragic occurrence, and ap-
plied the usual restoratives to Miss Stevenson, but
without avail; her spirit had taken its flight, and
the tenement of clay alone remained. Exertions
were immediately made to recover the body of Mr.
M'Curdy, which not proving successful, were con-
tinued throughout the night, and the body was
found at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning. Mr.
M'Curdy's interment will, we understand, take
place in Magilligan burying ground on Friday.
The lamentable event has cast a gloom over the en-
tire neighbourhood. Mr. M'Curdy was a gentle-
man deservedly respected by all classes, and his
death is universally regretted, while the utmost
sympathy is felt for his wife and only child, who
are left to mourn his loss.—Londonderry Standard.

The Immortalite, 51, screw, in the steam basin at
Portsmouth, has taken on board the whole of her
armament, which comprises,—on the main deck,
30 65-cwt 8-inch guns ; upper deck, 20 32-pounder
shell guns, and one 95-cwt. 8 inch gun, throwing
solid shot. Her boats and boat-guns are also on
board, and she is now receiving her shot and coals.
According to preswat arrangemknta she will go out
of the steam basin on Monday, and test her speed
at the measured mile on the following day.
The Emerald, 51, screw, Capt. H. 'Cumming, at
Spithead, has been surveyed by the authorities of
the port, and awaits further orders from the Ad-
miralty.
The Sealark, 8, novice exercising brig and tender
to the Britannia, cadet.training ship at Ports-
mouth, yesterday met with an accident to one of
her boats, which resulted unfortunately in the loss
of two lives. It is the custom forte exercising
brigs at Portsmouth to enter the harbkr on Friday
afternoons and lie there at their moorings until the
Monday morning. The Sealark yesterday had
passed between the points of the harbour's mouth,
and had, as usual, one of her boats manned along-
side in readiness to carry out a warp and make it
fast to her buoy. The boat is kept alongside until
the last moment ; but yesterday, owing to some
misconception of orders, the boat was hauled a-head
too soon, and before the brig had checked her way.
In consequence of this and the ebb tide she got
across the brig's cutwater, and was carried com-
pletely under her bottom. Some of the boat's
crew were rescued by the exertions of the officers
and crew of the brig, and others were saved by the
Coastguard boat stationed at the mouth of the har-
bour. The petty officer in the boat was rescued by
William Pearson, one of the crew of the Liverpool,
Custom-hcuse cutter of the port, who, on seeing
the accident from the cutter's deck, put off singly
in one of her boats to give his help. Ten hands
were in the boat at the time she was capsized, and
of these eight were saved, the remaining two are
missing. Their names are Charles Chilvers, be-
longing to Emmer-green, near Reading, and Wil-
liam Dowling, belonging to Edge-end, near Botley,
Hants.

His Netherlands Majesty's transport bark Hei-
den, 10, Capt. Toutenhoofd, from the Texel, last
from Portland, arrived on Thursday evening in
Plymouth Sound.
The - freightship Shannon was yesterday hauled
into basin in Woolwich Dockyard for the propose
of shipping pumps arid other naval stores, and is
under orders to fill in with war stores from the
Artenal-pier. The following ships are likewise
chartered to ship from the Military Store Depart-
ment at Woolwich, for foreign stations,—viz., the
Eunomia, Impetus, Seffrard, Mentor. Quickstep,
George Kidd, Florence, Henry Reed, and Harvest
Queen.

Mr. W. H. Ward having brought his experiments
with the ocean signal telegraph to a favourable
issue at Woolwich, has received instructions from
the Board of Admiralty to proceed to Milford
Haven and embark on board her Majesty's screw
steamship Royal Albert, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir
Charles Fremantle, K.C.8., for a course of experi-
ments at sea.
