George and Ann, of Cardigan

A severe gale was experienced at Peterhead, N.B., on the 22nd September, and two heavily-laden fishing-boats which had been proceeding northward made for the harbour. One, being more to the southward, was enabled to sail wi^h.j-her bow to the sea; but her companion, the George and Ann, of Cairn- bulg, being to the northward, had to run before the" spa, a position of considerable jeopardy, as was evidenced by the sail being occasionally taken off her. It was not expected that she would live in. the increasing 'sea, but, encouraged by the.ap- pearance of the Life-boat, Dundt^^bple's Journal, No. 1, which had putrpff to their aid, the .crew made sail, and, with the Life-boat in company, reached the harbour in safety. The crew were in an exhausted condition, and were very thankful to the Life-boat men for so promptly going out to help them..
