TfIE DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK IN MOUNT'S BAT.
—Downing, the honorary secretary of the Penzance
branch of the National Lifeboat Institution, writing from
that town on Saturday, reports that a most fearful ship-.
wreck occurred last night near Lamorna, between that
Cove and the Logan Rock. The Garonne steamer from
Bordeaux to Liverpool, Capt. Drew, with brandy and several
passengers, struck in the dense darkness of the night on some
rocks called the Bucks. In five minutes she went down.
Her captain, mate, two stewards, twelve females, and four
male passengers, were drowned. Her three boats saved
seventeen of the crew and two passengers. She struck
near midnight, and the first intelligence was brought to us
by the landing of the boats at Penzance. Of course nothing
could be done by our lifeboat, tho tragedy being over in
less than ten minutes. The occurrence has cast quite a
gloom over ow town.
