LONDON, August 25.-The flrst causalty
Of this pleasant yachting season on the
British coasts was the one which occurred
on Saturday morning at dawn, off oban
Bay, on the Argyle coast Of Scotland. The
yacht Kalafish, formerly Moonbeam, was
there at anchor. The owner, a wealthy
London solicitor, Mr.. Wm. Crossman, his
wife, and Mr.. Cecil Beresford, barrister
of'the Middle Temple, were asleep in tho
cabins. On tho yacht there were also the
Captain, James Nicholson; the mate,
George Eesbit, and two seamen, Carstairs
and Johnston, all of Berwick. Tweed,
the lying.up quarters OF the yacht, which
had thence sailed on July 81 for cruise
around the coast OF Scotland. The morn-
ing was fue and the weather clear. Sud.
denly the steamer Albicone, yoyaging from
Glasgow to Gottenbers, Sweden, turning
the point at full speed struck the yacht
amidships, cutting It sharply in two, SO
that both portions sank almost instantly.
The captain and mate, being on deck,
came up 10 the surface and were picked
up by the steamer, but the seamen, the
temple barfister, the solicitor and his
wife went down TO death, perhaps un-
knowing, save for brief Instant their
fate.
The Crossman daughters were then on
their way 10 join their parents on a yacht
from the Argyle mainland. The yacht
schooner in Lloyd's register is rated at 80
tons, built in 1873, length 90 feet, breadth
l6 feet. The apparently negligent steam
er, whose captain may possibly stand his
trial for manslaughtar, is dby Messrs.
Rankin & Son, OF Glasgow, built in 1869,
and is an iron schooner rig Of 4G7 tons.
She was coastipg, picking up cargo,
when the accident occurred.
