Near the isle of Whisthom, the barque Helen broke up,
and her crew, in number fourteen, all perished.
In the North Sea, off Yarmouth, the Humber, Whitby,
and other ports, many colliers are reported as lost, and
much excitement prevails as to the fate of the crews. In
the Leith Roads a sloop called the Carr Rock sunk, and
the whole of her crew went down with her. Off Hartle.
pool, a large number of vessels were dismasted, and were
knocking about in a very disabled condition. Near the
Hasborough light much damage was sustained. The
Hasborough Sand was the scene of several shipwrecks ;
but the loss of life was comparatively very trifiine.
The destruction amongst the shipping off Milford was
enormous. It commenced to blow most fearfully on the
11th from S.S.W. and so continued, varying one or two
points, until Saturday. The damage to property on shore
has also been very great. More than twenty vessels during
the storm were driven into the harbour, so disabled as to
render many of them almost total wrecks. On Friday,
about noon, a fine looking barque named the Norman,
belonging to Belfast, whilst on a passage from Dublin to
Swansea, was carried on to the shingle at the South Hook
Point. Every endeavour was made to get her off, but the
continuation of the gale rendered it quite impracticable.
She therefore became a total wreck ; the crew, however,
succeeded in preserving themselves. The coast for miles
bears evidence of the awful character of the gales. Spars
and pieces of wreck are continually being washed up.
On other parts of the Welsh coast the losses were very
heavy. A shocking catastrophe occurred at the entrances

of Llanelly Harbou-r. Two schooners, named the Trader,
of Milford, and the Dolphin, of Penzance, were making
for it, when they struck upon the bar, and almost imme-
diately foundered, every one of their crew perishing with
them ; none of their bodies have as yet been cast up.
Another schooner, called the Mary, of the port of Hayle,
went ashore in the harbour, but fortunately the crew
escaped. _ _

In the vicinity of Padstow, the gales occasioned much
damage, and, notwithstanding every precaution, much of
the scaffolding attached to the Trevose Lighthouse was

blown away

Off Penzance f,imilar effe2re were-ac

compietcly lost. By means of ropes thrown by the coast
guard of Prussia Cove Station, the master and three of
her crew were preserved, the remainder (four), however,
were washed overboard and drowned.
