After a ten week voyage from India, a East India merchant ship wrecks on the Irish coast

The paddle steamer Assaye had left Bombay on November 11, 1864 with a valuable cargo of cotton, jute, and flax seed.  Nearing the end of of her long voyage she ran into a powerful storm and was driven onto the coast of southern Ireland. Thanks to the efforts of the coast guard and local citizens all but one of her forty-nine man crew were saved. (By John Osborne)
