On the 5th December, the weather being thick, and a strong wind from W.S.W. blowing, a barque was observed in the bay, apparently making for the land. As soon as her dangerous po- sition was seen, the Agar Bobartes life-boat put off, through a very heavy sea, to the vessel's assistance. On arriving alongside, some of the life-boat's crew boarded her, and, at the request of the captain, proceeded with the vessel to Falmouth. She proved to be the Russian barque Salmi, bound from Shields to Civita Vecchia, with coals. The master had lost his reckoning, as the weather had been thick for some days past.
