Septimus

QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND. — Telegrams were received on the 12th March, stating that a vessel was ashore at Boche's Point, and that the Life-boat was required, other boats being unable to reach her on account of the heavy sea. The Quiver No. 3 Life-boat was accordingly launched at 12.40 P.M., and rescued four of the shipwrecked crew, one man being saved by the rocket apparatus, and another being taken off by a whale-boat. The vessel was the brigantine Septimus, of Belfast, bound from Cork to Swansea; she became a total wreck on the rocks.
