1841 'L'HIRONDELLE STEAMER.-Our readers will recollect the unfortunate accident, by which L'Hirondelle steamer was sunk in Howden Dyke, some months back. Great efforts were made, during the summer, to raise the vessel, under the superintendence of Mr. Sadler, of 96, Tooley-street, Borough, who is an excellent diver. By much exertion chains were got under her, notwithstanding she was so embedded, that it was deemed impossible to effect this object. The rains, and the freshes caused by them, delayed further operations,-and the work is now stopped till the spring, when Mr. Sadler will renew the attempt, which, we hope, will prove successful. In the meantime a buoy is moored over the vessel, to mark the spot, as a Caution to mariners.'[1]
