Nancy of Teignmouth

On the 9th April, this boat was again called into use. The brigantine Nancy, of Teignmouth, was observed to part her cables, and go ashore at the Horse Bank; the life-boat was promptly launched, and proceeded to the aid of her crew, which she succeeded in effecting after a hard row of two hours. Seven of the crew had secured themselves to the stump of the foremast, and the remaining 2 to the mainmast. All were safely got into the boat and landed at Lytham.
