SHIPWRECKS [01]
We regret to record the total wreck of the schooner Alexander of Dumfries, the property of Mr William Turner, Whitesands, on the west coast of Ireland, during the night of the 17th ultimo [October]. The vessel was proceeding to Tralee, when she encountered a dreadful gale from the north-east, which drove her into False Bay, where she was dashed to pieces, and every soul on board perished. The master, Thomas Henderson, belonged to Annan. he had only been a few days in command, the former master having been unable from illness to go with the vessel. The mate, John Carnan, was a native of Dalbeattie; and the boy, John Brown, belonged to Dumfries; the other two hands, it is supposed, belonged to Liverpool. On Saturday last, during the severe gale, the Grace of Dumfries, with a general cargo from Liverpool, was driven on shore about six miles east of the Ross lighthouse, and became a total wreck. The crew were all saves. - Dumfries Courier.
