Again, on the 24th March, the same life-boat went off to the rescue of the crew of the brig Prtmdentia, of Svelvig, near Drammen. In running for the harbour, during a gale of wind from the S.E., the vessel had struck on the rocks near the entrance, and had become a total wreck.

The life-boat was pulled under her lee-side, and the crew of 8 men were taken off, and brought in safety to the shore.

The cost of this fine life-boat, which had only recently been placed on this station, had been generously defrayed by the sub- scribers to the Dundee People's Journal.
