Les Deux Soeurs (The Two
Sisters), a chasse marre, ‘hunting tide’, a three masted lugger, 20 September 1810,
prize of the Cadmus sloop of war, of
14 guns, Captain Thomas Fife, at Rhineshark:
On
the morning of the 20th instant, the chasse marree, Les Deux Souers, of Nantz,
prize to the Cadmus sloop of war, Capt. Fife, from Quiberon bay to Plymouth,
mistook Tramore Bay, in a fog, for Waterford Harbour, and stood in; but by the
advice and assistance of the people on that part of the coast, and the
exertions of Mr. Barrett, Midshipman, and his crew, she was safely brought into
the harbour of Rineshark. She had previously lost her mainmast in a gale of
wind.[1]
