On the 11th January, news was received at this station that the services of the China life-boat were urgently needed in Torbay, as many vessels were in great danger of being wrecked during a strong gale of wind from the N.E. The China life-boat was thereupon de- spatched by land, and upon her arrival at Torbay, she went off, and brought safely ashore 11 men from the brig Jessie, of Lon- don, which had been in collision with the brig Cheshire Witch, of London. The crews of several vessels had unhappily perished be- fore the arrival of the life-boat at Torbay.
