mirintu roi i WON IN nu cinwu||@@||DREADFUL COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL
lidählp wiMi||@@||It is our melancholy task to announce that a most fearful collision took place in the Channel off Folkeston on Sunday evening, February 3 1856, between the Josephine Willis, Captain Canney, of the London and New Zealand Line of packet ships and a powerful iron-screw steamship, called the Mangerton, bound to the Thames from Limerick, which resulted in the foundering of the former ship and it is feared a lamentable sacrifice of life. The Josephine Willis was a first class ship of a 1000 tons burden. She belonged to Messrs Fletcher of Limehouse and was chartered by Messrs Willis & Co who run a regular monthly line of packets to New Zealand for a voyage to Auckland. She cleared out of St Katherine's Dock on Friday with a valuable and miscellaneous cargo, 10 first class cabin passengers, amongst them Mr and Mrs Ray, and a brother, relatives of the owners - about 60 steerage passengers, and a crew officers and men, of some 35 in number - upwards of above 100 on board all told. She had passed the South Foreland and was proceeding satisfactorily, when a cry was raised by the look-out forward of a light a-head. Whether the steamer saw the Josephine Willis or miscalculated the distance
nra bad-wine ffiMMl rnw||@@||she was off, is yet to be ascertained. However she came on and struck the ship amidship with such tremendous force as to cut her down to the water's edge. The scene of the most painful description ensued, and a rush was made to get on board the steamer, which was the ascertained to be the Mangerton, Captain Boucher, from Limerick. Captain Boucher almost directly backed his vessel out from the wreck. He may have had some good reason for doing so but it is alleged that had he remained or stood by, many more might have been rescued. Only a few managed to scramble on board the steamer and several others were accidentally picked up afterwards.
lie rcmiincd or MOM\ b\,||@@||Captain Canneywho exhibited the most noble conduct, endeavoured to peacify the terrifed creatures, and called them to come aft, where the bulk of the passengers were last seen. The ship then heeled over, with the end of her yards in the water, and what became of her living freight is at present a matter of conjecture. It is known that she has gone down as her topsails were to be seen just above water, not far from the spot where the collision occurred.
n were nceirtcninll) pic«||@@||The Mangerton had her bows and stern completely driven in, and on sounding the pumps, it was ascertained she was making water. In addition to those who got on board her from the wreck, she picked up a boat containing several persons, and at six o'clock yesterday morning she anchored off Deal, where several of the rescued passengers were put ashore. As it was considered some what unsafe to continue the voyage, she put into Barnsgate.
n cqaplolcH drhe||@@||It was then ascertained that at midnight a boat had reached Folkestone from the wreck with several of the crew, and from their statements, Lloyds agents concluded that as they reported they had left the wreck on her beameads, with the passengers and crew shifting cargo and pumping, there was a chance of saving her, and a number of fishing boats and luggers put to sea in the direction of the wreck in the hope of rendering her aid.

She was towed down the river from Gravesend, out to seaq and the pilot left her off Deal at 6 o'clock on Sunday evening. The weather was fine and clear, with a moderate wind E.N.E.
