On the 25th October, 1859, the smack Endeavour, of Portmadoc, drove from her anchors in St. Tudwell's roads, in a N.N.E. gale, and haying carried all her sails away except her foresail, bore up for the neighbourhood of Aberdovey, where she ran ashore: the Aberdovey life-boat was quickly launched, and proceeded to attempt the rescue of her crew, but after great exertions was compelled to return; a second crew then took the place of the first, and succeeded -in taking off the crew of 4 men. The life-boat which had been but a few months on her station, was re- ported to have behaved exceedingly well on this occasion.
