Storm and disasters cross 18th century Europe in terse notices
Reports of a Dutch man of war from Lisbon forced ashore near Texel during a Saturday storm. Ships from Rotterdam to Guiney wrecks, a tiny fish boat lost, and seven Rhine mills swept away. Local murders, arrests, and strange public notices fill the Dublin and Dublin-area columns, including suicide, coroners inquest, parliamentary bills, Parisian weather lore, and proclamations of rewards for thefts.
