Mr. Fletcher, farmer, Laggan-tilva, Moll, n
o Uraigneish,
Crinan, struck on a rock, close to an island, off approaching
and instantly sunk. The crew consisted of three men,
accompanied by the owner of the sheep, and the shepherd.
Two of the crew took to the small boat, which swamped
before half way ashore, when they were compelled to swim.
The o-her man and Mr. Fletcher miraculously escaped,
partly by swimming and the surge of the waves, whilst the
shepherd with difficulty clung to the rock all night, and was
picked up early next morning. Only ffftv-three live sheep
were found ou the island next morning, and forty-three of
those drowned were got into a small creek nine miies distant
from where the accident happened. Two fishermen, who
were passing on Saturday morning, took them from off the
unidhabited island, where they were kindly treated, and
conveyed the available wrecked cargo to its destination.
The craft was on her way from the island of Mull to Crinan.
where the sheep were intended to be landed, and then ship-
ped on board one of the Castle Company's steamers, at Ar-
drishaig Point, and brought tv Glasgow market.
