On the 10th February the brigantine Queen, of Youg- hal, was endeavouring to enter this har- bour during a very heavy gale from the N-W, On rounding the pJer-iaad she Jet go an anchor, but the cable parted, and she drifted about a mile to leeward, when she was brought up by the second anchor.

On seeing the danger in which she was placed, the Covent Garden Life-boat had, with some difficulty, proceeded out, and boarding the vessel, some of the Life-boat men assisted to let go another anchor.

The ship, however, still drifted, and ulti- mately went on Carrack Gladden Beach.

The crew of 6 men were, however, saved by the Life-boat..
