Transcribed by Petra Mitchinson. Geo. The Times, Tuesday, Sep 24, 1839 The steamer Solway, of Carlisle, left Belfast for Carlisle on the morning of Tuesday, the 17th inst., with 250 head of cattle, a valuable cargo, and several passengers on board. When off the Mull of Galloway she sprung a leak. The sea running very high at the time, 55 of the cattle were thrown overboard to lighten the vessel and clear the decks, the leak having increased so fast as to extinguish the fires. Through extraordinary exertion, however, at the pumps she succeeded in getting into Port Logan, in a sinking state; 12 of the cattle were drowned in the hold, and these, with the remainder of the live stock, were landed at Port Logan. Some of the cargo has been landed, although in a very damaged state. We have not heard the cause of the leak; the Solway still remains at Port Logan. The cattle thrown overboard have for the most part come on shore on the coast from Port Patrick to Corsewall, and were yesterday selling to the farmers and others in the respecting localities. - Stranraer Advertiser. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Petra
