Pomona, of Dundalk

On the 21st February, the same Life- I boat went out to the brigantine Pomona, '• of Dundalk, which, during a gale from the N.E., was seen driving down Channel in a disabled state and with a flag of : distress flying. The Life-boat was im- | mediately launched, and found that the vessel had been in collision with a steamer in Dublin Bay, and had lost all her head gear and had her foremast j sprung. The services of the Life-boat men having been accepted, they were j enabled to bring her safely to Mizen Head Eoads, the wind and tide not allowing them to make for Wicklow. The Life- boat then returned to her station, leaving 2 men on board the vessel, which was ulti- mately taken to Dublin on the gale sub- siding.
