If this iB the fate of the best steamer of the Webb line, what must be the value of the others which graduate between her and the celebrated Mo.es Taylor —Arqus' The. whole of the Etst Neuk of Fife has been cast into a state of mourning and gloom ■ by the occurrence of a catastrophe of a magnitude unprecedented in the history of that part of the country. This is the loss of five fishing boats belonging to St. Monance and | Cellardyke, -with their, entire crews to the number of 37, The boats were overtaken by a storm immediately after leaving Lowestoit and Yarmouth, and some of them have since been cast up on the coast of Norfolk One of tbem was picked up at sea waterlogged, and towed by a steamer to Lynn, where a horrible discovery wai made. The mast had i fallen across the cabin door, imprisoning the fire inmates of the cabin, whose bodies were found inside. A lingering dea-'h must have been theirs. Altogether by this calamity 19 women have been left widows, and 72 children fatherless, while a number of aged persons have been deprived of those on whom they were depended for support. One woman has lost no less than nine relatives —her husband, son, two brothers, three nephews, a cousin, and a brother-in-law. Another woman, 70 years of age, has lost seven relatives. , This aggravation of what, under any circumstances, would have been a sad disaster, is caused by the system of intermarriage which prevails in the small nMiing communities. Imnds lor the relief of the suflerers are being collected tbrough the east of Scotland, and up to the. present moment £360 has been received. .'' '..-•... , M»Tii — —i_-_aa iii i r i I in n —
