Storm at Ballycastle and wrecks near New Pier
An Irish letter from Ballycastle describes a violent storm on July 27 that battered the coast. The engine and stage at the New Pier end were swept away without damage to completed work, and engineer Needham and the crew escaped. Ships rode out the gale in the inner dock, while a Scotch vessel near Dunluce Castle lost all hands. In Limerick, a pedlar’s robbers are caught after leading officers to buried goods, reclaiming about 201. The storm may bring further melancholy reports.
