On Saturday night last, about 9 o'clock, a collision, which might have been attended with fatal results, took place in the Irish Channel. At the Prince Arthur steamer, belonging to the City of Dublin Packet Company, with the mail and a great number of passengers on board, was proceeding on her course towards Holyhead, she was, when about 15 miles from Kingstown, run into by a brig, about 200 tons burden, in full sail, the steamer, at the time, going at the rate of 12 or 15 miles an hour. The bowsprit of the brig ran into the starboard paddlebox of the steamer, causing a tremendous crash and stoving in the quarter deck boat. Fortunately, the vessel got clear, or both might have gone down together. The steamer was, however, completely disabled, and after lying for about an hour in a crippled condition, burning red lights, was taken in tow by her Majesty's steamer, Paisley, and brought to Holyhood at a quarter to nine o'clock yesterday morning. The brig, which was not much! injured, proceeded on her course. The confusion and panic on board the steamer was increased by its being discovered that there was no knife at hand to cut the lashing of the canvas cover of the larboard quarter deck boat, which it took five minutes to lower. This brig had no lights, so that the collision took place within four minutes from her being seen by the captain and mate of the steamer, who kept a good look out. It seems no life preservers were on board. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WRECK OF THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND (STEAMER) -- LOSS OF LIFE Just at the close of business at Lloyd's on Saturday evening, a painful sensation was created by the announcement of the receipt of a telegraphic message from Aberdeen, communicating the melancholy wreck of one of the splendid steamships, the Duke of Sutherland, belonging to the Aberdeen Steam Navigation Company, attended by loss of life. The message coming from a private source, not connected with the company, some uneasiness was entertained as to its accuracy, notwithstanding that the catastrophe had been duly entered upon the books, which required the sanction of the secretary. About half-past seven, however, all doubts were put aside by the receipt of an official communication of the wreck from Mr. T. ANDERSON, the head manager at Aberdeen. It was addressed to Mr. TATE: 'Announcing April 2: -- The Duke of Sutherland was wrecked of(sic) the point of the pier yesterday (Friday) afternoon at half-past five o'clock. Captain HOWLING and several passengers drowned.' A may be anticipated, this mournful intelligence produced the most painful feeling. The ill-fated vessel was one of the finest steamships that ever entered the port of London, and was justly termed "a floating palace." She was comparatively a new vessel, of between 600 and 700 tons burden, and, for the accommodations she afforded, was a great favourite amongst the aristocracy and merchants travelling far north. ==================================================== County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
