HURRICANE.
WerrenavEN, SEPT. t.—A tremendous storm from the
westward came on here yesterday morning, about fire o'clock,
and has continued with little abatement till now, eight
o'clock, Wednesday night. The 'ingress of the tempest was
rapid; a vessel off the Isle of Man first felt it about three in
the morning; it began here about five, and reached Wigton
by seven. The damage amongst the shipping in this har-
bour and upon the contiguous coast is great. About severs
o'clock the Content, heed; Atlas, Black; Fortune, Hind,
belonging to this port ; the Two Brothers, schooner, be- •
longing to Ramsay; and the Plural,: sloop, of Newry, all
run on shore at tire foct of Lowther-street, and are lying in
a perilous situation ; yet, when the gale abates, it is ex-
pected that they may possibly he got off. 'At low water,
about noon, the Content, Burns, of this port, came on
shore behind the north wall. The life-boat was imme-
diately manned from the New Quay, and sent off to save
the crew. On reaching the vessel, all hands, excepting
the Captain and Mate, left her. The life-boat was agai
manned by a fresh crew, who attempted in vain to reach the
vessel, and were obliged to give tip the attempt. The Cap-
tain and Mate, seeing the imminent danger of their situation,
sent a lope ashore by means of a float, when the boat once
more reached the vessel; the Mate immediately descended •
on board by the rope, but the Captain was still determined
taut to quit his ship, great as was the peril. After the lapse
tai sonic time, the life-boat was manned the fourth time, and •
sent off for for Capt. Burns, and after much patience and
difficulty he was taken from the wreck, under a bearty cheer
by the crew, which was instantly replied to by the thousands
assembled upon the shore—in a few.minutes all landed in
safety. This great exertion had scarcely ended, when an-
other vessel hove in sight, and seemed destined to experience
the same fate. Sire was soon known to be the Thistle, Cap-
tain Adamson, also of WhitehaVen. The crew appeared
to be using all possible exertion to keep her off the shore ;
but a short time shewed that their endeavours would prove
ineffectual, as she neared very fast ; and at length her head
was pointed directly on shore towards the bract' behind the
north wall, where, in a few mioutes, she struck. The lite-
boat Was again immediately prepared to bring off the crew, •
who, knowing the difficulty of rowing the boat to the wind-
ward, sent off -from tire vessel a buoy and line, which was
brought ashore by some men, .who spiritedly swain off
amongst the surf. In a few moments the boats reached the
vessel by this line, and the cheering of the crew told those ott
shore that all wasright, and the whole sour stood on terra-
firuta. , Thus the life-boat was the means of saving the crews
of two vessels, who otherwise would inevitably have pe-
rished. The ships continued to beat heavily doting the
afternoon. About six o'clock, the Thistle began to break
up, and in a few minutes she was a complete wreck. The
Content remained firm an hour longer, when she also broke
up; and this, rpurning there is nothing to be *seen of either
vessd, but a heap of broken boards, spars, and cordage.—
Nut a coal of the size of a walnut is to be (owe] upon the
beach, although both•vesseli left the port the evening before
the wreck, only laden with that ttrticle. Abouteight o'clock -
at night, the Integrity; of Workington, timber-laden, front
America, came to the entrance:of this harbour, where .the
-
struck the north wall, carrying away part ef.the perapet.—
'She now lies sunk within the entrance. At tow water this
day, they were employed.in diieharging timber from off her
deck ; and should-the gale abate, sire May be god._ off with but
little "damage:-' We ~rear, that 4::a-es'sei. is -on?shore about
three miles south of this pt. rt ; and that at Racenglass, two
others, one of them the Tartar, of Marvport av in a similes.
