CALAMITOUS ACCIDENT AT IRVINE.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
A melancholy occurrence took place at Irvine on Sunday after.
noon.' A party of seven yoling men, from Kilmarnock, after having
been some time in a public-house on Irvine Quay, proposed to have
a sail; and having procured the ferry-boat, and an old man sad a
boy with a couple of oars to pull, they left the pier end at five
o'clock. The wind being southerly, and the tide ebbing, the boat
was carried quickly down the river, bearing directly on the north
point, where the current runs with a dangerous rapidity. Heretic
was enveloped in a strong surf, which alarmed the boatman, and he

_ .
propowl to return ; but the eagerness of the passengers to enjoy an
aqu,atic excursion, and the promise of additional remuneration, iv-
dud him to persevere. This point had scarcely been settled
when the boat shipped a considerable quantity of water, and the hat
of one of the passengers was blown off, to lift which the boat was put
about, and while in the act of turning, she was violently struck by 2
wave, and fairly upset. The unfortunate men were seen from the
shore to struggle a short time with their awful fate, and a boat im-
mediately put off to their assistance, but it was too late to be of ma-
terial use, for, of the aloe people on board only three were saved,
and two of these had regained their places before assistance arrived.
The names of the unfortunate men who perished are :—George
Urquhart, saddler in Kilmarnock, John Anderson, Hugh Dickie,
William Stirling, and James Stewart, all painters from Glasgow,
Lately employed in Kilmarnock, and -- Sawers, a boy employes
to pull. Stewart has left a wife and child.
