    (continued from previous page)
    the ship was unloaded an attempt was made to tow her off the rocks, empty oil barrels were placed round the ship then a tug boat brought on and a big hawser attached to pull her off. On the first attempt the hawser broke and Catherine Richards lay on the rocks to become a total wreck.
    A local black-smith took the contract of breaking her up. His contract was to take down the two masts quite sound and then he was to get the remainder. He succeeded in doing so. He then broke up the ship and auctioned it off, so that is what became of Catherine Richards of Carnarvon.
