Transcribed by Susan Bergeron. Geo. The Carlisle Patriot Friday, February 13, 1880 A Terrible Storm at Sea About nine o'clock on Monday morning a melancholy accident befell the Orient Liner Chimborazo. The steamship left Plymouth for Adelaide on Sunday with 362 passengers, cargo, and mails, and encountered heavy weather on her passage down Channel. On Monday morning, when about 60 miles south-west of Ushant, she was struck by a tremendous sea, which swept her decks, washed overboard a first-class passenger and two seamen, carried away six of her eight boats, several skylights, hatchways, and deckhouses, and injured 17 passengers and seamen. One second-class passenger was so severely hurt that he died shortly afterwards. The Chimborazo returned to Plymouth on Tuesday afternoon. A still more disastrous casualty occurred during the same storm to the French steamer Valentine, of and for Dieppe, which left Cardiff on Sunday with a crew of 16 and one passenger. On Monday morning a heavy sea carried away the skylight and filled the engine-room. As the vessel was evidently settling down, the crew took to their boats, nine men being in one and eight in the other. The vessel foundered immediately after they left her. The boat, containing the eight men, capsized, but being a lifeboat, she righted. Five men, however, perished, and only three succeeded in getting into the boat, which was sighted by the steamer Campanil on Monday afternoon. Notwithstanding the high sea running, a boat's crew volunteered from the Campanil, and succeeded in reaching the boat, but by that time two of those in her had been washed away, and only a seaman named ROUSEL remained. He was lying unconscious in the boat, but under careful treatment recovered, and was landed at Falmouth on Tuesday. The other boat has not since been heard of. Two boats were on Tuesday found capsized in Dublin Bay, and is feared that five lives have been lost. .....
