Loss of Her Majesty's Steamer Thunderbolt at Cape Recess
Cape papers report the loss of Her Majesty's steamer Thunderbolt while near Cape Recess after striking a rock. The vessel flooded, pumps failed, and heavy leakage forced a near-term grounding off Baken's River. Efforts continue to lighten, save cargo, and possibly repair, with hopes of salvage fading as crews, including Swellendam levies, work from the stranded hull. The incident follows frontier depredations and cattle raids reported from the Eastern Province.
