Jabez, of Scarborough

— On the 23rd March, the brig Jabez, of Scarborough, was stranded on the Dutchman's Bank during a fresh gale from N.W. The Penmon life- boat put off, but after rescuing 5 of the shipwrecked crew, she capsized. She soon righted herself, all the men succeeded in re- gaining her, and she afterwards picked up 3 more of the vessel's crew, who had got into the long-boat. The master, having failed to do this, had been left on board the vessel. He afterwards took to the dingy, but was unable to reach the life-boat, and unfortunately perished..
