711 E GALE.

The storm of Saturday night and Sunday has done
much damage to shipping in the Irish Channel.
We have already recorded the loss of the Earl of
Chester, wrecked during the storm near Holyhead,
with the loss of all on board. The vessel miled from
Liverpool on Friday for Madras with a general cargo.
She was 493 tons burden, and belonged to Messrs.
J. Drowse and Co., shipowners of this town. She
was commanded by Captain W. B. Nancollis, whose
wife was also on board the ship. The following are
the names of the officers and crew :—Henry Wm.
Hall, mate, aged 26, of Dublin ; Malcolm Service,
second mate (shipped in place of Thomas Harvey,
who was prevented by illness from proceeding on
the voyage) ; Henrich Mathies, carpenter, 27,
Hanover ; William Henry Fooman, steward, 24,
Boston ; James Cross, cook, 31, West Indies. Able
seamen :—John Thompson, 29, Holland ; James
M'Donald, 25, Edinburgh ; John Johnson, 23, Fin-
land ; John Dean, 20, Chester ; George Bowen, 33,
Guernsey ; John Campbell, 22, and John M‘Gravy,
19, both belonging to Belfast. There were four
apprentices—John Berry, 15 ; Robert Fields, 16 ;
James Pringle, 14 ; and Henry Brockett, 15, all of
Liverpool. The vessel struck about half-past 6
o'clock on Sunday morning, and owing to the dread-
ful sea running at the time she was broken up into
small fragments. For half a mile along the beach
chests containing sailors' clothes, boxes with merchan-
dise, such as candles, wine, and manufactured
clothing, were found scattered about. Thirteen of
the bodies have now been recovered. The wreck is
now a prey to the notorious wreckers of the coast
known toW elsh seafaring men as " lladron Crigyll."
Many hundreds of them were thereyesterday steal-
ing whatever they could carry away, and the efforts
of Captain Jones, Lloyd's agent, and of the Coast-
guard were utterly inadequate to protect the pro-
perty.
The Triumph is stranded on the east side of Holy-
head Bay, having been driven from her anchors over
the rocks into Trevadoc Creek. All her cargo will
doubtless be saved, but as her keel is gone it is pro-
bable she will become a wreck. The steamer Isabella,
from Liverpool for Montevideo, reported on Mon-
day lost near Milford, was a small steamer of only
11 tons regr., intended for navigating the river Uru-
guay. She left Liverpool on the Ist inst.
At the Isle of Mau a schooner (name unknown)

has anchored in Laxoy Bay, with loss of sails,
masts, &c. Another schooner had a marvellous
estape in Douglas Bay. The gale raged from the
south-east, and, coming up before it, she rounded
safely into the bay, the crew thinking that they
would secure shelter there. The wind, however,
was so violent that she dragged her anchor
and was blown through a narrow passage called
the Sound, running between two reefs of
rocks, one ktiown as St. Mary's, (or Con-
nister), and the other as Pillock Rocks. Had
she been 20 or 30 yards nearer• either °I le side or the
other she would inevitably have been wpoked on

one of these reefs. This was the fate which bcfel
the Thomas Parker, of Dublin, Richard Berry
master. She also rounded the head and came to
:anchor in the bay about 3 o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. She drag:,,ed her anchor and Nvent ashore on
Mary's Rocks. In order to attract the atten-
n of the people on shore to thAr dangerous posi-
tiac the
.crew, five in number, brought their beds
on dt."l. and sA fire to them. The result was that
a boat ,'~olit the harbour went out to their assistance,
and with ;;rent dilliculty succeeded in rescuing all.
Soon afterw,:rds the vessel fell over, and it is feared
that she will become a total wreck. She is the pro •
perty.of Mr. Robert Kelly, of Port Marnock, county
of Dublin, and is uninsured.

During the gale on Saturday and Sunday three
or four vessels were wrecked off the coast of Cum-
berland. One of these was the Arid, of Belfast,
from Dublin for Maryport, in ballast. She ran
ashore at Drigg early i❑ the morning, and by noon
she had become a total wreck. All hands were
saved. The schooner Old Harry, from Dublin for
Workington, in ballast, went ashore near Bootle,
but is expected to be got off. A Glasgow vessel,
name unknown, was cast ashore at Duddou ;
abandoned.

The gale blew with great violence on the coast of
Northumberland and the south of Scotland. The
schooner Phoenix, of North Berwick, from Sunder-
land, was wrecked near Dunbar ; all hands were
saved.
