Mary Young, of West Hartlepool

.—During a heavy gale from the N.E. on the same day the brig Mary Young, of West Hartle- pool, grounded on the North Gare Sand- bank at the entrance of the Tees, a mile and a half south of Seaton Carew. The Charlotte life-boat at the latter place was conveyed to the spot, launched, and brought ashore the vessel's crew of 8 men. A strong gale from E.N.E. was blowing at the time. On the afternoon of the same day the life-boat again went out to the schooner Daisy, of Berwick, which was seen dragging her anchor, a tug making vain efforts to get near her.

The vessel was found abandoned; and after some difficulty she was towed up the Tees to Middlesborough..
