Transcribed from the 7 October 1828 edition of The Newry Commercial Telegraph newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Melancholy Occurrence at Sea. On the night of Monday, the 29th ultimo, the sloop Mary, of Ulverston, bound from Dundalk to Southampton, laden with grain and tar, encountered a tremendous squall off Howth Head, at some miles from shore--in a few minutes she capsized, and went down. Of her crew, consisting of seven men, three were unfortunately lost with their ill-fated vessel. The remaining four supported themselves in the water by swimming, and the accident being fortunately observed from the Head by some of the crew of the Morning Star wherry, they immediately manned their little vessel, and, with the utmost alacrity, put off to the assistance of their fellow-beings in distress. They were all picked up and taken into the boat, but in almost a state of insensibility. On their return back to land, one of them, from the length of time he had remained in the water, and the sufferings he had endured, breathed his last.--Dublin Paper. ====================
