ARIEL, screw yacht, belonging to Mr. H. MacIntyre of Paisley, drove ashore on the rocks at Isle of Skye, in the gale of Oct. 1, and would probably be a total wreck: no lives lost. (Glasgow, Oct. 9).

NMRS, MS/829/70 (no. 5385).
The map sheet assigned to this record is entirely arbitrary; it remains uncertain on which side of the island the stranding occurred.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), possibly suggesting her successful recovery.
