Oregon, of Stonehaven

On the 7th April, the schooner Oregon, of Stone- haven, on entering the river Tees, ran ashore on the South Gare Sand, at the entrance of the river, where, striking heavily, she filled and sank. Some steam-tugs at- tempted to approach her ; but being unable to do so, one of them proceeded to Middles- borough and fetched the life-boat, which was then rowed to the wrecked vessel and took off her crew, 4 in number.
