On the 30th October, during a gale from W.N.W., the schooner Theodorus, of Liverpool, was stranded on the north-west end of the Salt- house Bank. The Robert William life-boat put out and brought ashore 12 of the crew.

The life-boat Wakefield, stationed at Ly- tham, also went off and rescued 3 men from the same vessel. Subsequently the last- named life-boat again went off, and, with the aid of a steam-tug, succeeded in bring- ing the schooner safely into harbour..
