On the 20th October the sloop Liver, of Carnarvon, was totally wrecked, during a very heavy gale of wind, on the Wharf Sandbank, about three and a half miles from Southport.

As soon as the vessel was seen in distress from the shore, the Southport life-boat was sent off. On arriving alongside, the crew, 3 in number, were found clinging to the port-bow, with every sea that came sweep- ing over them. The men were got into the life-boat by means of ropes, and after- wards safely landed at Southport..
