On the 20th September, on the Southport life-boat landing at Lytham with the greater portion of the crew of the barque St. Lawrence, it was considered that the four persons who had remained on board her were in danger, so the Lytham life-boat proceeded to the spot, but as they still refused to leave her, or to allow the life- boat crew to attempt to get the vessel off the bank, the life-boat had to return again to the shore.At daybreak on the following morning the barque was perceived to be still on the bank with a flag of distress flying, the coxswain and crew of the life-boat therefore again pro- ceeded to her, when they found her to be a derelict, the master and the others-on board her having left her at daylight in their own boat, she had 7 feet of water in her hold; but they fortunately succeeded in getting her afloat, and in taking her to Lytham.
