Kate, of Liverpool

On the 19th October signals of distress were observed from the schooner Kate, of Liverpool, driving ashore in Arklow Bay during a heavy gale of wind. The Ark- low life-boat was again promptly launched, and brought on shore the crew of 5 men, leaving the vessel riding with her only re- maining anchor out. Fortunately the wind soon afterwards shifted, which enabled the vessel to hold on, and her crew being again put on board by the life-boat, she pro- ceeded on her voyage. The captain gave the life-boat crew 10Z. 10s. for their valuable services..
