Skye [name centred NG 45 35].
Kyleakin, Skye, 15th Aug. The DASH (brigtne.), of St. John's, Nfld., Clachar, from Runcorn to Peterhead, ran on the shallow beach at Duna Rhua [Dunan Ruadh], Sound of Skye, about high water on the 11th Aug., and is neaped on the beach. She will probably have to discharge to get off: damage to vessel inconsiderable.
Source: LL, No. 16,023, London, Friday, August 18 1865.
NMRS, MS/829/72 (no. 10830).
The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably accepting her successful recovery.
