The brig Robert, of Whitebaven, 186 tons burthen, Captain
NA/mann Nieman, sailed from Dublin for Liverpool, early on
Friday morning, having on board between 50 and 60 passengers
(including about 20 women and children), 13 home,- 39 bale
locks, and 60 pigs, &c. Towards evening the sea became ex-
tremely boisterous ; as the vessel inclined to, either side, there
the pigs rushed in a body ; and the bullocks having broken loose,
became unmanageable. In this predicament, considerable fears
were entertained by the passengers for their safety, and they en-
treated the Captain either to return to Dublin or put into the
nearest port. It was impossible to comply with the former re-
quest, but the Captain said he would rua into Whitebaven. At
this time (about half-past eight) the vessel was under a heavy
press of sail, and bearing on the Manx coast. Our informant (Mr.
Joszeu Num, of Newgrove, near Monaghan) says, the Cap-
tain was not aware of being near the, teed, for, titre-ply tett
question_ of Mr. Ntioe) he said there was no danger, as the
vessel was between twenty and thirty miles off any 'eoast.--
A few minutes afterwards,tbe Captain and Mr. brixoe being in
l the cabin (the latter having lain down in the Captain's bed), the
vessel struck On the rocks at Jangles Point with a dreadful
crash. The Captain and Mr. Nixon instantly rushed on deck,
where a scene of the most horrifying description presented itself.
The terrific shrieks of the women and children. and the distrac-
don of the men may be imagined, but cannot be described. At this
awful and perilous moment—the sea' running mountains high,
and the waves dashing over the venelobrouded in midnight dark.
ness, and on an unknown coast, there was not an instant for delibe-
ration. Those who could swim immediately jumped into the sea,
and gained the rocks, while stew others also succeeded in passing
over the bowsprit and descending on a jutting point of the rock.
Several who had gained the rocks were unfortunately washed off
by the overwhelming waves and it was only by the utmost
ha-
man exertions that any portion of them escaped destruction.—
Those who succeeded in retaining their hold, clambered from
rock to rock, during the short interval that succeded each wave,
until they attained the laud. Of the entire number, not more
' that nineteen persons (including the Captain and crew) were
eaved—the remainder found a watery grave. One woman was
