Jane Ellen, of Aberystwith

At mid- night on the 20th January, during a heavy gale from E.S.E., the schooner Jane Ellen, of Aberystwith, was observed dragging her anchors, in a very dangerous position off this place. The Royal Berkshire life-boat was immediately manned and launched, and soon reached the vessel. Some of the life- boat men boarded her, and assisted to bring her to a better anchorage. At the request of the master the life-boat remained by him all night, and at daylight succeeded in bringing the vessel safely into harbour.
