Lyra

PORT ERIN.—The schooner Lyra, of Port St. Mary, Isle of Man, bound from Liverpool for Dublin with a cargo of salt, missed stays, and was driven ashore on the Carrick Kock in Port St. Mary Bay during a terrific gale from the S.W. and a high sea on the 4th January. Almost immediately after the vessel stranded the master was washed overboard and drowned. The Ann and Mary Life-boat was launched at 8.45 A.M., and rescued the crew, consisting of three men, just before the vessel sunk..
