On the 16th March it was blowing a whole gale from the N.N.E., accompanied by a terrific sea, when the Schooner Ann Mitchell, of Newquay, came into the bay in a distressed state, and after a narrow es- cape of being blown on the rocks, where all hands would inevitably have perished, the crew succeeded in running her on the Goodwick Sands. The Life-boat quickly went to the assistance of the crew of 5 men, who were found to be quite exhausted and helpless. With some difficulty they were saved by the Life-boat. The boat had not been long ashore before the schooner Oarnsew, of Hayle, which was at anchor in the bay, parted both chains, and also went on to the Goodwick Sands. The Life-boat was again launched, and fortu- nately succeeded in saving the lives of this vessel's crew of 4 men. In both these services the Life-boat and crew be- haved admirably, it being stated, indeed, that the behaviour of the boat " could not be better.".
