His father, Thomas Morgan of this city.
believed in the sons innocence, and with
the aid of some of Bangors influential clti-
zens, spared neither money nor effort to
secure his acquttal. Visits were made to
the West, but all to no purpose, and the
father was prostrated in mind and body by
the failure to prove his sons innocence,
and it ultimately led to his death.
Young Morgans friends here made such
urgent efforts in his behalf that he was not
obliged 10 serve out his full term, but was
pardoned Chief Justice Peters aiding ma
terialy in the movement which brought
about his release. He returned home and

Ship Sirene Wrecked on English
Coast in View Of thousands
Who Cheer the Brave Men uho Resesed Crew
Of Eleven nea.

LoSpoS, nct. "a furious gale is pre-
yailing on the Lancashire coast and it i,
feared that damage to shipping and loss OF
life may result.
The Norwegian ship Sirene that sailed
from Fleetwood TO Sspelo in ballast Satur-
day. encountered storm and was terribly
buffcted by the wind and sea. Her sails
were split and torn away until finally she
became unmsnageable.
She drifted ashore this morning in full
sight of thousands of persons who had col
lected on the beach. Those on the pier
fed With great precipitation as the vessel
sailed by them, threatening to smash into
the structure with terrible force.
The ship finally became jsmmed between
the pier and stone brcakwater, breaking
away the supports of the pier and DESTROYING
four shops situated at the entrance TO the
structure. Crowds rushed to the spot as
soon as the vessel struck and efforts were
made to rescue the crew of IL men.
The storm was still raging and intense
excitement prevailed. At the risk of their
lives Il number of boatmen put OFF from the
pier and after desperate battle with the
waves succeeded in bringing all the crew
safely to dry land, amid the plaudits of the
watching thousands.
The vessel was badly damaged by the
collision with the pier and breakwater, and
was bomhardcd by the breakers and forced
upon the hreakwater until torn apart and
became complete wreck.
The pier suffered severely from the en-
counter with the vessel, the framework be-
ing extensively smashed and torn away.
The loss to the structure is estimated at
f5ooa.
The captain of the Sirene says that find-
ing the ship had become unmangeable he
tried to steer her for tie pier, believing this
was the only means of saving himself and
crew from a watery grave.
The place where the Sirene struck the
pier is Blackpool, 20 miles west of Preston.
