DISASTER
AT SEA
Lloyd's
agent at Lemvig telegraphed yesterday morning that the FARNLEY steamer, from
Savannah for Revel, with a large and valuable cargo of cotton on board, was
supposed to have been totally lost in the neighbourhood. Bales of cotton had
drifted ashore, and two boats marked "Farnley Newcastle" had been
found on the shore of Bjerregaard. In one of them were two dead bodies,
presumed to have been those of officers of a large vessel, probably a steamer.
They had lifebelts on them. This information has since been confirmed by a
telegram from the German Consul at Bada, on the west coast of Jutland, to the
Danish Consul at Newcastle on Tyne, stating that four boats painted "Farnley
Newcastle" and the dead bodies of some sailors had floated ashore. On one
body was found a book with the name "William Downey" and contained
the following entry:-" Farnley left Savannah on the 18th December, with
5,900 bales of cotton, destined for Revel". It is said that about 150
bales of cotton marked "Knoop" have come ashore. The cargo on board
the FARNLEY is reported to be valued at nearly £100,000. The FARNLEY was an
iron built screw steamer of 2,002 tons gross, highest class, and owned by Messrs
J Temperley and Co of Newcastle.
