January 4, 1786

Posted by sydney on Jan 4th, 1786

One of the most severe days that I ever remember with a S. wind.  The snow on wednesday [today] proved fatal to two or three people who were frozen to death on the open downs about Salisbury.  Much damage happened at sea about that time.  In particular the Halsewell outer-bound India-man was wercked, & lost on the shore of Purbeck.
