of Bridlington Quay, son of the late receiver
It is supposed that the Trees in question
formed part of the cargo of the sloop "Prince"
from the River Ancholme in this port to
Sunderland -- she was cleared here on
the 10th May 1853 and foundered the
same day near Flamborough Head
and her cargo from time to time washed
to shore between Skipsea and Tunstall
Hornsea being about midway between
those two places, Mr. Runton has informed
me that "TR & Co" was stamped upon
all the Trees of which the cargo "Prince"
was made up. Those marks however
might be rubbed off by the rolling
of the Trees against different objects
as they were washed up to the shore
