On the 28th De- cember the brigantine Hitena, of St. Johns, Newfoundland, was observed off Worthing with signals of distress in her rigging. A gale was blowing from the S.W., and there was a heavy sea on. The Jane life-boat was soon manned and launched, and some of the crew having boarded the vessel, she and her crew of 6 men, were taken into the Port of Shoreham..
