DISASTER AT SI

.---The schooner Emerald Isle, from

London to Liverpool, was run into on Sunday night week
by a brig (name unknown), painted black, and apparently
a Danish vessel, which bore on her course, never stopping
to render assistance. The Emerald Isle sank in about

half an hour, the crew escaping in the boats, and after
beating about for seventeen hours, without food or water,
landed safely at Laxey, Isle of Man.
