On the 14th February the Norwegian barque Iris, of Stavager, had several of her sails blown away in a terrific gale off the Mull of Cantyre, and was compelled to run for Machrihannish Bay, where she let go both her bower anchors. Being considered to be in great danger, the Campbeltown life-boat was sent for, when she proceeded to her, and took off her master and crew, 13 in all, landing them in safety. The barque, however, held on to her anchors until the gale abated, when the life-boat again put the master and crew on board her.
