Catherine of Newry

On the 19th February the services of the Fleetwood life-boat were again called into requisition. A vessel with a flag of distress flying, was observed to be on shore; the wind blowing a gale from N.N.W. at the time, with heavy squalls. The life-boat was at once launched, Captain WASEY again going in her, and succeeded in taking off her crew, landing them safely at Fleetwood.

This vessel was the schooner Catherine, of Nevvry.
