LULWORTH. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
– A dreadful accident occurred to a man named Dorey, farm bailiff to Mrs. Randall. It appeared that on Monday evening he was brewing harvest beer, and that he was standing on a plank on the rim of the copper pumping out the boiling liquid, when he fell in up to the armpits, supposed through the tilting of the plank. A person who was near the door, hearing Dorey cry rushed in and pulled him out, and medical aid was obtained as quickly as possible, but the injury he received from the scalding water was so serious that he died about six o’clock on Tuesday morning, after lingering in great agony for twelve hours. An inquest was held on the body the same evening, before Giles Symonds, Esq., coroner, when a verdict of accidental death was returned.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT IN WEYMOUTH BAY
-
On Saturday, March 4, five men belonging to her Majesty’s coastguard were suddenly swallowed up in the angry sea. The men, who belonged to the Warbarrow station, about thirteen miles to the westward of St Alban’s Head, were returning in their galley from Weymouth with sundry stores, and which might be considered a fair cargo for such a vessel. The men were perfectly sober, but the wind was blowing fresh from S.S.W., and Admiral Fitzroy’s signal opposite the Weymouth Telegraph Station indicated a probable gale from the southward. When about a mile from Lulworth Station (the one below that to which they were bound) the watchman there observed a sea strike her on the quarter. She shipped apparently a good deal of water, and immediately went down, in nautical phrase “like a stone”! The Lulworth men immediately took to their cork jackets and their boat, but on arriving at the spot nothing could be seen, save a few light articles, forming a part of the stores, floating about. There was a good bit of sea and wind on at the time, so much so that the Lulworth men could not effect a landing at their own place, and were obliged to disembark at a place called Mupes. The five men drowned were: -
