    3. From The Cork Examiner, 14 August 1861 - AMERICA LONDONDERRY, TUESDAY.--The North American, from Quebec on 3d inst., has arrived. She brings £30,890 in specie. The Fulton had arrived out. Passed steamers United Kingdom, Anglo-Saxon, and Bohemian. The Canadian s.s. Norwegian, which left Liverpool on the 18th and Derry on the 19th ult., passed Farther Point on the evening of 3d inst. On the morning of 29th ult., owing to a thick fog, she struck on a reef of rocks 36 miles S.E. of the north point of Anticosti. A large portion of the cargo was thrown overboard. She was afloat aft all of the time. On the 2nd inst., the passengers were put on board the United Kingdom. On the same night the Norwegian came off undamaged and proceeded to Quebec, but owing to light head winds had not yet arrived. The mails were put on board a schooner on the 31st. The United Kingdom was expected at Farther Point to-night. American politics unimportant. Canadian crops reported satisfactory. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild, Irish Maritime News Acton, Mass. | http://immigrantships.net/newsarticles/newsarticles.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
