Soon after the life-boat had returned, another vessel, the schooner Blue Jacket, of Newcastle, was seen endeavouring to ride out the storm, which, however, she did not succeed in doing, as she soon drove on shore. The life-boat was again launched; and the crew made a gallant j effort to reach the wreck; but the force i of the wind and sea was so great that the ' boat was beaten back. A second, third, and fourth attempt was made, but with the same result. The men were by this time nearly exhausted by their determined and gallant endeavours to reach the wreck; but a fifth attempt was being made to launch the life-boat, when the vessel began to break up, and in a few minutes was a complete wreck, and all on board unhappily perished. The oldest inhabitants on that part of the coast stated that they never remembered so terrific a gale. The beach was literally strewn with pieces of wreck, and the cargoes of these vessels, and of others wrecked on I that part of the coast.
