The barque Christian had regularly traded between Glasgow and Demerera. She was advertised as departing in August 1847 and arrived in November 1847:
  Glasgow Courier - Tuesday 10 August 1847: AT GLASGOW FOR DEMERARY. THE first-class Clyde-built Barque CHRISTIAN, Captain WILLIAM STIRLING, now loading, will sail 18th instant. AITKEN & SPIERS. 97, Union Street, 9th August, 1847.
  Glasgow Courier Thursday 11 November 1847: GLASGOW SHIPPING LIST. Christian, Stirling, from the Clyde at Demerary.

Note the intrepid spirit of some of the local population in "liberating" some of the recovered rum.

From North Wales Chronicle 11 Jan 1848
  PORTHDYNLLAEN. On Tuesday last, the barque Christian, Wm. Sterling, master, bound from Demerara to Liverpool, with a cargo of rum and sugar, came on the rocks at a place called Porth-gwylan, about three miles southward of this place. She had been abandoned at sea. She was taken possession of by people from the neighbourhood, who succeeded in getting all her sails up the cliffs, and about five hogsheads of rum was brought to shore. We have since learned that she has gone to pieces. The agent for the Receiver of Droits, the officers of Customs, and Lloyd's agent immediately repaired to the spot.

From Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald 22 Jan 1848
  PORTH DYNLLAEN. - On the night of the 13th inst. or early on the following morning, some person or persons bored the floor of the Custom House, at this place, by which means they succeeded in emptying a hogshead of Rum, which was placed there to await its shipment to Liverpool. The perpetrators of this illegal deed were, doubtless, accustomed to the practice. About a dozen holes were bored in the floor of the room. There is a stable under the office, into which they entered; by this means they got clear off with the contents of the hogshead. The thieves have escaped the strictest inquiry.
