occulted its Linsehouse-teach. which rendtted it ea.

However, Russell, who was plying at the 'Dog and
Dusk Ferry, was solicited by the unhappy suffermsand
two other workmen, named J.ihn Baptist and
Wickham, to now them across the Reach to a foreign
vessel called the "At dant'," lying outside Lime-
housrpoint, on board of which they were engaged
by Mr. Cardnor. shipwright, to Salk. They (sk-
ived the boat, and sat down in the stern. Russell
rowed to neatly the centre of the river, when the
gale increased, and the boat was struck by several heavy
saves, and it amused impossible that she could live in
such a heavy surf. The ill fated persons is the stern of
the boat sat more closely t gether, and the nest mo-
ment the sherry was struck by a wave. and instantly
tilled and sank. The two men, Baptist and Wickhion.

Wickham were picked up in a very exhausted state.—•
Owing to the violence of the surf and another heavy
squall, the ship's boat was near y swamped. Russell's
wherry shifted away with the tide, but was found. taken
ashore, and yesterday formed a sad objet of curiosity
to a crowd which had assembled.
Daring the image day the river was dragged by
several boats with drags ; guns were Seed along the sur-
face of Linsebouse Reach, and every means were pur-
sued to endeavour, it possible, to recover the bodies of
