ACCIDENT TO THE PRINCESS ROYAL STEAM-SHIP.-•
On Sunday. at noon. when about thirty-five miles from
the Isle of Man, the Glasgow steam-ship Princess Royal,
on her voyage to Liverpool, was struck by a heavy sea on
the starboard quarter, which carried away the bulwark,
mizenmast, binnacle, and skylight, and deluged the cabin
with water. The rudder was also rendered unmanageable
for a short period. Captain Cumming and the mate were
standing at the wheel when the disaster occurred, and we
are sorry to say that the former was severely wounded on
the scalp and had three of his ribs fractured. Notwith-
standing the injury he received, the captain would not
relinquish his post until he had to be carried below in a
fainting state. The chief mate, Mr. Clarke, and John
Turner, the steersman, also suffered considerable injury.
At this time Mr. Hall (first officer of the steam-ship Asia)
volunteered and, aided by the second mate, Mr. Thomas,
took temporary charge of the vessel, and soon managed to
partially repair the damage done to the wheel, and brought
her safely into the Mersey, where she arrived at half-past
four in the afternoon. The Princess Royal had nearly 200
people on board, including the officers and crew.
Loss OF AN AMERI:AN SHIP ON SUNDAY.—At an early
hour on Sunday morning, we were visited by a violent
gale of wind from the N.W. and W.N.W., with a very
heavy sea which continued during the greater part of the
day, accompanied with heavy showers of rain. This to-
gether with a thick haze which prevailed at intervals,
caused the shipping outside to experience extreme difficulty
in making the harbour; and from these combined circum-
stances we have to record the loss of a fine American
barque, called the Cazone, Captain Potterfield, from City
Point, Virginia, with a cargo of tobacco, said to be the
finest and largest imported into Liverpool during the last
twenty years. From what we have been able to learn, it
appears that the vessel in question was boarded by a pilot
at half-past six o'clock on Sunday morning, the gale at
the time being at its height, and after being tossed and.
buffetted about for some time, the pilot deemed it prudent
to anchor, which was accordingly done in five fathoms
water, to the eastward of Taylor's Bank. After weather-
ing the gale for some time, she parted her anchors, be-
came unmanageable, and, about ten o'clock, struck be-
tween Taylor's Bank and Jordan's Flats, It miles N.E.
of Formby Lightship. Her signals of distress were im-
mediately communicated to this port by the semaphore
telegraph, and the Liverponl and Magazine lifeboats were
instantly despatched to her assistance. The lifeboats
reached her shortly after one o'clock, but were unable to
go alongside on account of the heavy sea running, and
preparations were made to lower the crew down the jib-
boom of the barque, which, we are happy to say, was
safely accomplished. A portion of the crew, with the
wives of the captain and mate, were safely landed at the
Magazines; but, at the earnest request of the captain.
the Liverpool lifeboat, Cropper, master, with Captain
Porterfield, the mate, and pilot on board, remained along.
