Corea, of Guernsey

About 4 p.m. on the 19th April, the barque Corea, of Guernsey, was observed on Taylor's Bank in Liverpool Bay, the wind being from the S.W. and weather squally.

The New Brighton (tubular) life-boat was quickly launched, and proceeded under canvas to the vessel's assistance, and found her very leaky and badly strained. The life-boat's crew boarded the vessel and as- sisted in working the pumps. With the assistance of two steam-tugs, the vessel was eventually got into Liverpool about mid- night.
