SEA DISASTER
We learn from a letter dated at Brixham, Devonshire, that the ELIZABETH, Captain Gilbert of London, which some time ago sailed from the Clyde, when proceeding from the Mediterranean homewards, on the 20th ultimo, in going through the Bay of Biscay, at three o’clock in the morning, encountered a heavy sea, when THOMAS BALLANTYNE, a young man, son of Mr. Archibald Ballantyne, Saltcoats, who was standing at the wheel, was carried away (with the bulwarks and stanchions) and lost, while the mate and another of the crew were severely hurt, although not cast overboard.
At ten o’clock on the same morning she was again struck with a heavy sea, when the captain with two of the crew were swept away; another wave brought back to the deck one of the parties, JOHN WILSON, belonging to Saltcoats, who was saved, - the captain and the other seaman perished.
