Empress, of Sunderland

On the 4th January the Seaton Carew life-boat, after making three gallant attempts, but without success, to rescue the crew of the brig Empress of Sunderland, wrecked on the Long Scar rocks, took off the crew of the Jubilee, of Guernsey, which had driven on shore off the town. The life-boat got damaged on this occasion. The Seaton life-boat Committee have, since this occurrence, placed themselves in connection.with the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, which has replaced this life- boat by a new one 'on Mr. PEAKE'S design.
