On the 7th December, during a fearful gale of wind from W.S.W., the Edward Wasey life-boat went off, and brought safely ashore the crew of 12 men and a pilot from the Norwegian barque Inga, which was at anchor, in a dis- masted state, near the Danger Patch. On the following day, the weather being more moderate, the life-boat put the crew on board the vessel again, which was subse- quently taken in tow by a steam-tug, and brought into Fleetwood with the loss of her anchors, which could not be weighed on ac- count of the heavy sea.
