On the 9th May the schooner Maria, " of Milford, ran on the bar at the mouth of the Boyne during a heavy gale from E.S.E. The Drogheda life-boat was quickly launched, and after one fruitless attempt succeeded in taking off her crew of 3 men in a very heavy sea, and landed them in safety. Almost imme- diately after their leaving the vessel, she fell over on her beam-ends, and became a total wreck.
