LOSS OF THE ATHOL STEAMER'

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Aber'
deen :—" The Athol steamer, John Burton Master, on !lri
voyage from Dundee to Newcastle, encountered a dread
~
gale from S.S.W. on Monday evening, when about five v;
six miles to the Southward of Coquet Island, and struck,
tremendous sea, which laid her almost on her beam-o°i
and caused her to strain so much, that the crew could De
keep her after labouring at the pump all night. On 1.11e,,51
day morning (29th inst.), at day-light, they hoisted a sign,-
of distress, and about 8 a.m., they perceived a smack b'ei
ing down to their assistanqe. About 10 a.m., the vessA,
came under her lee, and proved to be the fishing-Pia' t
Flora, of London, J. Scott Master, who immediately 51.
his boat and four hands to them, with orders to bring 11;
two female passengers, and the crew, two by two at a i 1
u$
on board his vessel. In this way he succeeded in 50"";
the whole (six in number) ; and after dodging about lb!:
couple of hours near the steamer, and seeing that ti
could not save her, he bore away for the nearest port, le
landed Captain Burton and his crew, and the two fer'%i
passengers, all well, here this morning. After the Ala e
became unmanageable, she drifted a considerable distaue4.;
and when he left her she was off St. Abb's Head, about it
miles distance—depth of water, 43 fathoms. Captain Sela
behaved in the most humane and attentive manner to the
crew and passengers of the Athol, who feel most grateful
his kindness."
