an hour after the vessel struck a heavy roller
came IN, and lifting the ship about six feet let
her fall on the rocks, when she broke across
the paddle boxes into two parts; the bow fell
over sideways, while the after part remained
ehure. several persons were on the bow, bur
were rescued by passing a rope over the chasm
ana hauling them aft.
A singular incident occurred here An aged
Irishman, who had co,Isidera bic sum of mo-
Hey with him. had been insane for q week pre-.
vious, from fear of being wrecked. He would
frequently pack up his apparel and offer any
one money TO put him ashore, prophecying
that the ship would never reach Portland. All
ter the bow fell over he was seen sitting ON the
iorcastie deck ladder, with his satchei in his
hand, apparently unconscious unable TO
take advantage Of the attempts made TO save
MN In little time he fesl from his place,
ana siid across the deck into the sea, where he
was was drowned, as ne had foretold week before.
