THE FLOOD
Winterberg, 10th Feb 1848
The recent flood has done, I am sorry to say, immense damage in this neighbourhood. The water rose so rapidly that it was impossible to remove any effects from buildings situated near the river. That fine water mill belonging to Mr. WIGGLE Sen. has been completely demolished, he water rushing down with such violence that it carried one of the stones a distance of 700 yards. This stone is nearly eight inches thick and four feet in diameter. My wagonmaker's and smith's establishment, which was carried on at the mill under the superintendence of Mr. WESTERBAR, is quite broken up, the whole of my property there having been swept away, namely - 2 new wagons just painted and completed, 4 do. nearly finished, wagon wood for 15 wagons, the whole of my smith's and wagonmaker's tools, new wagon chests, household furniture etc, amounting to at least Ł800 sterling. In addition to the foregoing I have lost 300 sheep by death, with some damage done to my buildings at the farm on which I reside.
Poor Mr. WESTERBAR is deserving of much sympathy. He has lost his all, only escaping with life and that of his family, and what clothing they wore at the time. He is now dependent on charity, not having saved any tools to recommence his business with. Information has reached us that some portion of the property thus lost has been picked up along the banks of the river. Should this be the case it is hoped that it will be restored, and any person giving information which may lead to the recovery of any of the lost articles will be rewarded for their trouble.

THE CHANTICLEER
The following which came to hand yesterday will be read with great regret by all who admire and appreciate bold persevering enterprise.
Port Frances 3rd March 1848
I am very sorry to inform you that the 'Chanticleer' in crossing the bar of this river on the 1st inst struck on the western side and drifted on to the rocks at the end of the Western pier, where she now lies. Nearly the whole of the cargo is damaged but the most strenuous exertions are being made to recover as much of it as possible.
The cause of this accident is to be attributed to the alterations which have taken place at the entrance of the river since the last heavy rains. The master, A.SEATON, showed much skill and made every exertion to save the vessels. Prompt assistance was rendered from the shore by Mr. W. COCK's boat and crew, but all to no purpose.
A steam tug would have prevented this, as well as all the other accidents which have happened to vessels entering and clearing this place. The channel is at present narrow, but with not less than 8 feet depth at low water, quite sufficient to have admitted the vessel could she have been kept under command.
PS Great fears are entertained for the vessel; appearances are decidedly against her.

To the Editor: Sir,
It has been my painful duty to send you for insertion in your paper the death of Mrs. MUNDAL, the wife of one of the original Settlers. It may interest some of your readers, and perhaps some distant friends, to learn that her end was peace. Mrs. M. was long afflicted, which she bore with Christian fortitude, and died trusting in her Redeemer, and a firm adherent to the Church of England.
Her funeral obsequies were attended by a long train of attached friends and relations, both Dutch and English, male and female, including her own children and some grandchildren. This funeral was rendered the more remarkable by the good arrangements of Mr. QUINN, the undertaker, and it being one of the first in the neighbourhood, conducted with all the solemnities customary in our Fatherland. The funeral service was read by Mr. BOON, the Catechist of the English Church, and in the evening he improved the solemn occasion by delivering a discourse, from the 16th chap. Of St.Luke, 31st verse, 'And he said unto him if they hear not Moses and the Prophets neither will they be persuaded though one arise from the dead.' Some present said it was good for them to be here, that it was better to go to the house of mourning rather than to the house of feasting. The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. I send you this for insertion out of the high esteem I have for the family of the deceased. With all respect, Sir, I shall subscribe myself
