On the 1st Decem- ber, during a terrific gale, the brigantine Vitruvius, of Liverpool, was seen to anchor in a very dangerous position in the Skerries Roads. The Zelimda life-boat was at once launched, but, after proceeding some distance, it was thought the shipwrecked crew had left the vessel in their own boat, and the life-boat was signalled to return, which she did. Subsequently she was launched a second time, but was driven back by the fury of the gale. Again, a third time, she was taken afloat, and happily succeeded in rescuing the brigantine's crew of 6 men, and in bringing them safely ashore, amid great rejoicing..
