Thetis brig wreck tale amid late gale reaches port
From a correspondent comes a vivid account of the brig Thetis stranded in heavy weather. After two brutal seas damaged the craft and claimed three crew, the captain and master kept pumps and crew at work, saving the ship despite loss of stores. A later find in sewer work at Chiswick reveals a medieval tombstone and other relics. A baby found near Isleworth prompts a coroner’s inquiry, and a tax case in Wincanton ends with a £20 penalty plus treble duty.
