Excerpt from book: AULD SCOTIA, I LOVE THEE! 21 I 've stood by the side of the lofty Niagara, And gazed with delight on the grand waterfall; I Ve sailed the Missouri and famed Mississippi, But Cree thou art dearer to me than them all! WRECK OF THE "JANET WIGNALL." [The "Janet Wignall" (Captain R.W. Jones) was a vessel trading tetween Creetown Granite Quarries and Liverpool. On a return voyage she went to pieces on the Borgue Coast, during a terrible gale on the morning of the 18th January, 1879, when all on board-7 in number- perished. For the widows and orphans of the deceased men, the Cree- tonians, with true Gallovidian generosity, raised an ample fund for their maintenance. Through the energy of Mr. Cooke, Ed. Galloway Gazette, Newton-Stewart, a considerable amount was added to the fund. Mr. J.L. Toole, the celebrated actor, was amongst the subscribers. The following appeared in the Galloway Gazette:- "It is thought that such had been the fury of the storm that the boat had become unmanageable at sea; or that, through the darkness of the night and the thickness of the snow and sleet, the lighthouse at Ross Point had been obscured, so there was no friendly beacon to warn the poor mariners of their terrible danger. Be that as it may, when the storm had subsided, and daylight had dawned, the Borgue shore at Borness Point was strewed with dead bodies and pieces of the wreck. Once more Charles Kingsley's lines were true in everything save the number- " ' Three corpses lie out in the shining sands, In the morning gleam, as the tide goes down; And the women are weeping and wringing their hands For those who will never come home to the town. " ' For men must work, and women must weep; And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep; And good-bye to the bar and its Books, History~~General, Banks-O-Cree-and-Other-Poems~~Isa-Cowan, 999999999, The Banks O' Cree, And Other Poems, Isa Cowan, 1143411056, Nabu Press, , , , , Nabu Press<
