At
nine o’clock on Wednesday night, a small vessel, apparently a brig, called Le Speculateur
of St. Malo, was totally wrecked on Tramore Strand. There is much reason to
feared that the crew were washed overboard before she came in. She went
instantly to pieces and nothing was saved.
A Part
of the wreck of the Lord Ebrington was also driven in. This vessel foundered on
the Cornwall or Welch coast ten days previously, on her way from some English
port tp Swansea, laden with copper ore. The wreck was broken by the violence of
these gales.
Fragments
of a wreck marked as having belonged to a vessel named the William were also
washed in at Tramore.
At
two o’clock on Wednesday, the brig Swaine, for Cork for Newport, in ballast,
was driven ashore at Bonmahon. The crew were saved.[1]
The
Speculation, of St. Maloes, was totally lost in Tramore Bay 28 ult..[2]
