SUPPOSED NEW ROCK DISCOVEII'
STRANRAER. SOP'
A letter received at Lloyd's from their agent °to la'raer, dated March 30, 1842, states that the hat 1,25-
bella, Captain Rymer, in entering that port on ; V
of March, struck and hung on to what was surrf,i jle
be a sunken rock, hitherto unknown, about lla",:,,ferr
from the west point, and lost her false keel. Tocirg
vessels passed inside of the Isabella at the awe;
five and a half fathoms. The Isabella drew 13 'ei,oure
"
straight keel. This supposed rock is in the direct
of vessels taking the Loch from the Corswall e 0;
Isabella proceeded to Greenock to have her betto3(lol
mined, but she is not supposed to hare sotto"
damage beyond the loss of her false keel.
