MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT AT MONTROSE.-
YOUR LIVES LOST.—On Saturday last a distressing casualty
occurred near the harbour of this town. Between 10 and 11
o'clock, forenoon, a party, consisting of seven persons—
namely, Mr. C. S. M. Somerville, chemical manure manu-
facturer ; Mr. William Mitchell, shipbroker ; Mr. Charles
Hutcheon, lime and coal nwchant ; Capt. Mackie, of the
'chi:loner Alert, and his bt'other, a boy of only thirteen
years of age, all of Montrose, with Messrs. Murray and
omeatou, lime and coal merchants, Capar-Angus, who were
°A a visit, proceeded to take a sail in Montrose Bay. They
left the harbour in the ship's boat of the schooner Vigi-
lant, and sailed down the Southesk, close to the wind, with a
mainsail and jibset, and a pretty stiff breeze from the N.N.E.
On reaching opposite the Ness Point, where the river falls
into the ocean, they had evidently discovered that the sea
wag too rough for their tiny bark, as they were seen to put
about for the purpose of returning. Captain Mackie was
at the helm, and must have taken toe little sea-room, as the
boat ran violently to leeward and went broadside upon a
large rock called the Stone, which lies about eight or ten
yards from the south bank of the river, and is bare at the
top at low water. The Stone must have been seen from the
boat, as the tide had not flowed more than half an hour. The
boat was instantly capsized, and the whole seven passen-
gers were precipitated into the sea. Mr. Mitchell was the
first to reach the rock, when he assisted Mr. Hutcheon
and Mr. Murray to get upon it, but could render no
aid to the other four persons. Mr. Mitchell then swam
to the shore and gave the alarm. A messenger
was despatched to the fishing village of Ferryden, half a
mile off, and a number of persons were soon on the spot.
Meantime the four unfortunate persona bad sunk to rise
13c more. The young lad Mackie, who was an excellent
swimmer, was observed for a time to battle with the billows;
and one of the men held on for a short period by the boat,
but was ultimately washed off and lost. The coast all around
the Ness Point is composed of precipitous and projecting
rocks ; and the Stone, the rock where the casualty happened,
is a very dangerous part, a terror to the most experienced of
the fishermen, and where many lives have been lost in the
same way. Mr. Somerville was an enterprising citizen, in
the prime of life. He has left a wife and two children.
Captain Mackie was a young seaman of much promise, 21
Years of age, and was just about to be married. Mr. Smeaton,
whe was also much respected in Cupar-Angus, has left a
wife and young family. Up to Saturday evening none of
the bodies had been found, though active search was being
made for their recovery.
A NURSE MAKING CONFESSION.—" I'm dying,
doctor—l feel it. You're sure I'm. dying, ain't you?" in-
terrupted she, changing her solemn tones for very shrill
ones, ‘1 you are quite sure." We are sure of nothing," said
gravely; " you are very seriously ill." " I know," ex-
claisned she bitterly, relapsing into her melancholy phase
again, " that is what all you doctors say; but it means
death. Oh, e;r, I have been a very, very wicked woman
indeed. I have eomething—l have three things on my mind,
Which it will do me good, I think, to get disburdened of ;
they will kill me else, I feel, of their own selves. And,
sir, I have not got a soul in the world to tell them to,
only you.,, So this dreadful old person had indeed
dragged me out of ray warm bed for the purpose
of reposing in me a dangerous confidence, which my
own good nature invited. "Do you remember the
very stout gentleman, doctor—him with the apnleplexy
in Ward No. 2—at St. Harnabasses ? " "446. Pleurisy.
Left convalescent ? " inquired I, from memory. "The same,
bled him to death, doctor, at his own house within
the week. His friends paid me by the job you see, and I
was anxious to get it over." " Good heavens !" cried I ;
"and to save yourself a little trouble you committed, then,
a cruel murder 7" " 14a wept off like a lamb," cried the
wretched creature, apologetically, " But there's worse
than that. I once gave a young gent. four doses of lauda-
num in one, and you wouldn't a known when he was
dead from when he slep. But them was murders for all
that, I know." "They certainly were, miserable woman,"
cried I, indignantly. "Havel yo anything yet more
upon your mind ?" " Hush !" whispered sbe, pointing to-
wards the door; " she's listening ; they always does it
bless you—l knows 'em 6o well. Once, only enee, as I'm
4 sinful woman—l smothered wouldman with his pillow ;
tintt was for his money ; he have died any way,
because Ms had the lock-jaw. if Now,i/ added she, with a
tong drawn sigh, and after a pause, " I feel somehow
utter and more comfortable like, thanks to you, sir." The
patient bad sunk back from kr sitting posture, as if ex-
nausted with this terrible naaration ; but read in her yet
anxious eyes that she had still something more to say.
Presently she again broke silence, and this time the emplia-
kla with which she spoke was mingled with a tone of
gratitude. Sbe desired to recompense we, I suppose for my
prompt attention and interest, and delivered hers If of this
advice instead of a fee :—" When your time comes, doctor,
and your friends send for the nuss, don't let them pay her
by the job."—ChanzberB's Journfil.
