MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT CORK.-011 Sunday
se'nnight, as Mr/ GEORGE MITCHELL, of Pope's.
quay, Mr. Fixeows, of the Royal Navy, and a
young lad of the name of Seeolvan, were proceeding
in a small sail boat of Mr. hltrctier.o's, of Cove, the
boat upset in a very heavy squall, in consequence of
the sail being carried away whilst Mr. M. was endea-
vouring to reef it ; and the boat's gunwale having
got under water, she was instantly swallowed up in
a tremendous sea. Mr. M. the young lad, and a
boat-man who was on board, immediately appeared
on the surface of the surge—notwithstanding the
perturbed State of the sea, Mr. M. regardless sof his
own life, seized the lad with one hand, whilst he en-
deavoured to swim with the other, whereby he kept
him above water fora considerable time, until the
rude attack of a saucy wave forced the boy from his
intrepid farm, and immersed them both for some mi-
nutes ; but having appeared again, a boat with some
men from the Trent fortunately came to their relief,
and rescued them, together with the boatman, from
a watery grave—but the ill-fated FELLOWS was en-
tombed in the bott.om of the deep, having gone down
with the boat. Thus has this unfortunate Gentle-
man, after a long and honourable service cf nearly'
fifty years in his Majesty's Navy, found his grave is
the river of Cork.
