The brig Daw- son, of Newcastle, went on the Long Scarr Eocks off this place during a gale of wind and in a heavy sea on the 23rd November.

The life-boat Surton-on- Trent proceeded out to her, and was the means of saving 6 of the shipwrecked crew. Previous to the arrival of the life-boat 3 men had attempted to get to the shore in the ship's boat, which capsized, and 2 of them were unhappily drowned, the third man being rescued by the ship's crew after he had been a quarter of an hour in the water..
