the Royal Cornwall Sailors' Home, treated them with all the kindness and attention they so much needed. Most of the bodies from the _Bay of Panama_ were recovered, that of the Captain's wife having been found lying on the shore early on the morning of the wreck. Though this was the most serious wreck near Falmouth, it was far from being the only one. Reports of wrecks and loss of life continued to be received for many days following the beginning of the gale on Monday. Near Porthoustock, on Monday night, the sloop _Dove_, of Topsham, was lost, but in this case the crew were saved. The _Dove_ left Exmouth Bight on March 8th, arriving at Plymouth Breakwater early on Monday morning. Just after daybreak, in company with several other vessels, she left for Falmouth. There was a strong wind blowing, which, as time went on, increased with much violence, and was followed by a blinding snowstorm. The captain and mate of the _Dove_, who were both at the helm, could, they said afterwards, scarcely see their hands before them. At about three o'clock in the afternoon the vessel was near the Manacle Rocks, and off Porthoustock Cove, and here, while in a most critical situation, the tremendous sea lifted the little craft clean over the rocks, and she was washed up on the beach. The skipper threw his little boy overboard, he and his mate following in the same way, and all were rescued by those persons on shore. Near the same spot, the ketch _Aquilon_, of Jersey, and the ketch _Edwin_, were reported lost with all hands.
