The paragraph below, corresponds to all entries marked ‘Mohegan’ (uid 8311 - 8316):

On 14th Oct 1898 about 7o'clock in the evening the steamship Mohegan, an American liner belonging to the Atlantic Transport Company, ran at great speed on to the Manacle Rocks. The Lifeboat succeeded in saving 44 persons and 3 or 4 more were saved in other ways. 107 lost their lives. 40 bodies were laid out in the church at one time. Of these many were buried, some were removed by friends and others were embalmed and sent to America. Memorial services attended by very large numbers of people were held in the Parish Church on Sunday Oct 23. The vicar preached in the morning and the Archdeacon of Cornwall in the evening. I, the vicar, having seen much of the sufferings of the rescued and the sorrow of the bereaved, earnestly pray that effectual steps may be taken to warn others of the position of the dread rocks which have been the scene of so many terrible disasters. W.A.Diggens
