WRECKS ON THE PTTBBECK COAST. 



Ii'elaiid, it seems a light matter to have to record so compara- 

 tively uneventful a wreck as that with which I have occupied 

 the attention of the Society. 



Perhaps instead of gi'umbling at the apparent perversity 

 with which vessels have latterly indulged, in the mania of 

 coming too near our coast; we ought to indulge only the 

 sincere feeling of gratitude that property alone, and not life, 

 has been the subject of our anxiety.
