Colonel Cook (Schooner), 13 Aug 1858

Description
Full Text

The schr. COL. COOK, belonging to Mr. Geo. W. Bissell, of this city, has met with an accident, it seems, in her return from Liverpool to this port. She cleared from Liverpool on the 23d ult., and by a telegraphic dispatch last evening we learn that she put into Queenstown, Ireland, on the 30th, with the loss of foremast, decks swept away, &c. Further than this we have no intelligence, but she must have encountered a storm which damaged her quite seriously, and will delay her arrival for some time. If she had been favored with good weather on her return voyage, she would have arrived here about the middle of September.
