"The Nile" Screw Steam-Ship, wrecked off Godrevy Point [in Cornwall], 1854. Vessel of the British and Irish Steam Company....in a tempestuous sea and thick weather, she ran on a dangerous reef of rocks, called "The Stones, " stretching out from Godrevy Point, and soon afterwards sank with all hands...Among many narrow chances which have been the topic of conversation is that of a young man named Strick, of Newlyn. His luggage was on board the Nile, but he quitted her for a few minutes to have "a pint" with a friend. The conversation was prolonged, and on returning to the docks the steamer had sailed. Doubtless the belated voyager imprecated his unlucky stars. He took steamer to Bristol, and thence to Hayle; on arriving at which place the news awaited him that he had lost his luggage, but saved his life'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
