FORTY-NINE .RE DROWNED. Appalling Disasters in the i:ucllh of shipwreck and loss of life came in from a number of points along the English channel, where for more than twenty-four hours violent gale3 raged. The storm in the channel was so severe that the regular packet boats plying between the English and French ports were abandoned for the day. Telegraph wires were down in many places and mails are everywhere delayed. The chief disaster was the wrecking of the four-masted ship Primrose Hill, outward bound from Liverpool, wrh!ch went ashore near Holyhead. A terrific sea was running, which prevented the lifeboats from approaching the stranded vessel. When the steamer struck three of the masts went overboard, and the hull broke in two. The foremast was left standing, but in a few minutes this, too, went over the side. Meanwhile the crew had huddled together on the poop deck. In a short time a huge sea boarded the after part of the wreck and all hands were washed overboard. Thirty-three were .drowned. The Austrian bark Capricorn was driven ashore near ßude, Cornwall. Nine of the crew were drowned, one was saved, and four were left on board, with little likelihood of being resclucd, as they were unable to avail themselves of the . rocket apparatus. The British bark Pegasus, sailing from Queenstown on Dec. 26 for Sharpness, grounded off Lavernock Point, but was subsequently floated to a place of safety. Five men essayed to reach land in an open boat, but all but one were drowned. Other drownings were reported. Result of stcrm in English channel: Lives lost (known), 49; vessels wrecked, 11; vessels ashore, 57; steamers missing, 2
