From The Cork Examiner, 1 October 1878 - A very sharp thing was done at sea last night. The Danish brig Johanna, laden with palm oil, from the African coast, spoke with the barque Forest, of St. John's, and the captain of the former vessel solicited that he should be taken off with his crew, and this was done. The captain of the Forest as soon as they were transferred, sent some of his own crew aboard the brig to take her into port, and they reached Falmouth to-night. The brig's crew abandoned their vessel because of her having six feet of water in her hold. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
