THE GALE AT HOME.
Foundering of a Barque With
All Hands,
Narrow Escape of a Passenger
Steamer,
(Beceived To-day, at 12.6 a.m.)
London, March 3,
The barque, showing distress signals, seen at ten o'clock on Sunday night to Btrike the Prison Rocks, off Cornwall, and apparently sink or break up, has proved to be the Luna. It is beyond doubt that the crew perished.
The steamer, Pas de Calais, with 180 passengers aboard, while drifting in the storm with her paddle disabled, narrowly escaped grounding on the Goodwin Sands. Her damage was eventually repauad, and she reached Dover.
