seemed DOOMED to pIsas,er.

An incident occurred recently which
is unprecedented in the annals of Irish
shipping. Five schooners which left
Ballinacurra. County Cork. have foun.
dered at the same time. The five
vessels left port within a few hours
of each other. and shipping men. are
unable to account for the loss of sc
many boats at one time. In all 81
lives are involved. There has never
been a similar instance in the history
of Lloyd's of the disappearance OF
five vessels sailing on the same day
and on short coastal voyages. 1t ii
singular that all other boats leaving
the neighboring ports arrived at theil
destination in safety.
