On the 1st February the barque Lady West- moreland,of Newcastle, owing to the darkness and thick weather, grounded in a high sea on a dangerous shoal near the Church Bock, inside the Nab Light. As the tide rose she bumped heavily and started her deck-planks, the masts being momentarily expected to go by the board. The Olive Leaf life-boat went off, and found the crew prepared to quit the ship, expecting that she would soon break up. The life-boat men, however, boarded the vessel, and, after great exertion and fatigue, the anchor was slipped, and she was extricated from her perilous position. The life-boat was reported to have behaved ad- mirably on the occasion.
