This life-boat was also taken out on the 5th December to the schooner Columbine, of Wexford, which in running for Hantoon Channel, the entrance to Wexford Harbour, while the wind was blowing hard from the east, and the sea running high, struck the ground and showed signals of distress. On arriving alongside, the brave life-boat men found the sea breaking over the wreck, which was rolling heavily, the masts being likely to fall every moment. After many attempts and much exertion, the life-boat running great danger of being smashed alongside, the vessel's crew of 5 men were happily rescued and brought safely ashore in the boat.
