FORTY-NINE IRE DROWNED.
Appalling Disasters in the English
Channel.


News of shipwreck and loss OF life
came in from a number of points along
the English channel, where for more
than twenty-four hours violent gales
ragged. The storm in the channel was
so severe that the regular packet boats
plying between the English and French
ports were abandoned for the day. Tele-
graph wires were down in many places
and mails are everywhere delayed. The
chief disaster was the wrecking of the
four masted ship Primrose Hill, out
ward bound from Liverpool, which
went ashore near Holyhead. a terrific
sea was running, which prevented the
lifeboats from approaching the
stranded vessel. When the steamer
struck three of the masts went over
board, and the hull broke in two. The
foremost was left standing, but in a
few minutes this, too, went over the
side.
Meanwhile the crew had huddled to-
gether on the poop deck. In short
time huge sea boarded the after part
Of the wreck and all hands were
washed overheard. Thirty-three were
drowned. The Austrian bark Capri
corn was driven ashore near Dude,
Cornwall. Nine Of the crew were
drowned, one was saved, and four were
left on board, with little likelihood of
being rescued, as they were unable to
avail themselves of the rocket ap-
paratuS. The British bark Pegasus,
sailing from Queenstown on Dec. &c
for Sharpness, grounded off Lavernock
Point, but was subsequently floated to
a place Of safety. Five men essayed to
reach land in an open boat, but all
but one were drowned. Other drown
ings were reported. Result Of storm
