Canton of Scarborough

On the 29th No- vember, the smack Canton, of Scarborough, was observed with signals of distress during a strong wind. The Annie life-boat went off and succeeded in placing the vessel in comparative safety outside St. Andrew's Harbour at 10 P.M. The life-boat then left her, with the understanding that if the men on board should require any further assistance they were to show a light. About 11 P.M., this signal was shown, when the life-boat again went off with a pilot; the vessel's cable was slipped, and she aud her crew of 4 men were forth- with brought safely into harbour..
