Waterford,
Dec. 16- The Mystery, from Ibraila to Galway, struck between this town and
Rabbit-burrow, this morning and has since become a total wreck. Several deals
and some bags of guano have been picked up in Tramore.[1]
Shipwreck
On
Thursday morning last, a large brig sailed into the bay of Tramore, the Captain
having evidently mistaken his course It was high water at the time the vessel
came in, and about nine o’clock in the n=morning she stranded near the borough.
It appears in the haze of the morning the captain mistook his reckonings and
only discovered his mistake when within a short distance of the shore. The
vessel is named Mystery, of Portmadock, laden with Indian corn, and was
homeward bound to Liverpool, from Ibrailla. The Captain’s name is Williams. We
are glad to be able to state that all the crew were saved. It is quite likely
the greater part of the cargo will be lost, as we find the vessel has gone
entirely to pieces in the storm of Thursday night.[2]
