On the 15th June, a messenger on horseback arrived at An- strother from Fifeness, having been de- spatched for the life-boat by the coastguard there, in consequence of observing a brigan- tine with her foretopmast and topgallant- mast gone, and the ensign at the maintop- mast head Union down. The life-boat Admiral FitzRoy had been only newly painted, was not quite dry, and, with the exception of the air-boxes, everything was out of her. The gear was, however, all put on board, and the boat launched in ten minutes after the receipt of the message. The life-boat got alongside the vessel, which was the brigantine Isabella, of Aberdeen, but found her services were not, after all, required, the weather by that time having moderated. The captain, never- theless, took one of the life-boat's crew as a pilot, and proceeded up the Firth. The alacrity with which the boat was manned and launched excited the admiration of every one, and was very gratifying..
