FATAL ACCIDENT

Stellenbosch Feb 26 1833

We are sorry to have to announce the death of Mr. Dirk CLOETE Senior of Noottgedacht, near this Town, which occurred this morning at a quarter past five. It appears that, returning home from Church, with one of his daughters, in a cart, the pole broke and he was thrown out, and was dragged along the ground, by which his left leg was frightfully shattered and lacerated. Two ribs were broken and he received several bruises. Symptoms of mortification began to show themselves yesterday, and it was judged necessary to remove the limb, which operation he bore most heroically; but his constitution, from having suffered so severe a shock the day before, and his age (66 years) were so unfavorable that he gradually sunk this morning. We are happy to learn that Miss CLOETE, although also severely bruised, is likely to do well.

We are requested to invite attention to the hard case of a woman named Margaret HELY, with four children, who arrived here in that ill fated vessel the Jane & Henry, on her way to join her husband in Van Diemen’s Land. The detention and sale of the vessel have reduced her to extreme want. An opportunity of conveying her and her children to their destination is now afforded in the schooner Fame, and several humane persons have opened a subscription for this purpose; the sum required is only £35. The names of His Excellency and of several other benevolent individuals are subscribed. A list is placed at this office, where donations will be readily received. A few decent clothes would probably also be acceptable for the children.

SEVERE STORM

On Sunday afternoon Graham’s Town was visited by a storm, which, for severity, has seldom been equalled. The hailstones were so large that there is scarcely a house in the town but what has been injured, whilst some have had broken from forty to sixty panes of glass. The most serious accident which occurred was, as we learn, at Mr. J. WHITE’s, whose residence was struck by lightening. The electric fluid passed through the thatched roof, which it set on fire; from thence it descended to an apartment below, in which the family were sitting, shattered a chimney glass, and struck down a young woman, who was at that moment before the fire. The upper part of her dress was instantly in a blaze, and a steel bust in her stays was literally fused or melted at either end. The poor girl was severely scorched on various parts of her body, and lay for a considerable time in strong convulsions; but, we are glad to say, that hopes are entertained of her ultimate recovery.
