A DETERMINED suicide was yesterday reported at Queenstown as having taken place on board the Russian barque Ranha, which had, on her arrival from Odessa with maize put into this port for orders. Upon enquiry the rumours proved too true. The unhappy victim of self- destruction was the vessel's commander, Captain Goos ; and no other motive can be assigned for the perpetration of the dreadful act than a melancholy almost verging on insanity, arising from some cause as yet unkown. --The Cork Examiner, 4 January 1862 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/Ireland - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
