Soon after the life-boat returned to her station, the S.S. Queen, of Dundee, re- ported a wreck on the Abertay Sands. A fresh crew was mustered, and the life-boat at once proceeded again, in tow of the Queen, some distance down the river, when the masts of a wreck were observed a long dis- tance off to the south of the bank. As some doubts existed as to whether some of the vessel's crew might not be clinging to the rigging, the life-boat's crew resolved to pull over the Banks. After going through a tremendous sea, which repeatedly filled the life-boat, she arrived alongside the wreck, which proved to be that of the S.S. Dalhousie, of Dundee, trading between that port and Newcastle. No one was found in the rigging, and it was afterwards discovered that the whole of the crew and passengers, numbering between 30 and 35 persons, had unhappily perished.
