Owing to the tremendous sea running, the life-boat failed at first to reach the vessel, and had to be beached. She was, however, quickly launched a second time, and by means of a hawser got alongside, and at the request of the master 6 of the l:fe-boat men boarded the schooner and suc- ceeded in pumping her dry..
