Waterloo Subscriptions and Arniston Wreck Narrative
A late October meeting reports Waterloo subscriptions expanding to Tortola Montserrat and towns in Lancashire and Yorkshire with funds invested in long annuities. The issue also includes a melancholy narrative of the Arniston transport wreck off Cape Lagullas May 1815, detailing survivor accounts, a long list of perished and passengers, and a Cape Town recovery.
