Deaths at sea off Auchmithie

On the evening of Friday last, Mr Robert Barclay, ship-owner, and Mr George Simpson, merchant, went on board the brigantine Fortune, in the bay of Arbroath.  Off Auchmithie, they left the vessel to land there; but had not proceeded far, when the boat, from some accident, unfortunately upset, and both perished in the deceitful element.  The vital spark was not quite extinct in the body of Mr Barclay when brought on shore, but in a few moments disappeared.  That of Mr Simpson has never since been seen: he has left a wife and family to lament his premature and melancholy fate.
