vessel, coal-laden, John Jolly, master, and the Akaster of
Whitehaven, also coal-laden, William Atkinson, master, left

on—there was a strong wind from the south-south-west, and
a very heavy rain ; and, towards evening, the light on the
Little Ross being obscured by the tempest, the vessels were
driven forward, and soon after six o'clock they struck on the
rugged and dangerous Borgue coast about eight miles west-
south-west of Kirkcudbright, They were driven on and
over some perilous reefs of rocks, and in a little time went to
pieces. The Flora had tit() men and a female passenger.
