were the keepers of the lighthouse, on a wild night in September 1838.
The steamer Forfarshire was on its voyage from Hull to Dundee. The ship was in bad condition. The boilers were so defective that the fires had to be extinguished shortly after she left Hull. Nevertheless she toiled on until she reached St. Abb's Head, when a terrible storm drove her back. She drifted through the night before the wind, until, in the early morning, she struck with tremen- dous force on the Hawkers ro...cks. The ship broke her back, and snapped in two. Nine of the crew took posses- sion of a boat, and drifted through the only outlet by which it could have escaped ; they were picked up at sea, and taken into Shields. Most of the passengers and crew were swept into the sea and drowned. The fore part of the vessel remained stuck on the rock ; it was occupied by nine persons, crying for help.
