Notes:

Weymouth 29 Mar 1835 the Hound, revenue cutter is reported to have got onshore on Weymouth sand on Friday night ; the Swallow, revenue cutter, in going to her assistance also got on shore, the wind being dead on shore. The prospects of recovering either vessel appear remote should the state of the sea not improve.
