On the 9th November the French brig Jeune Colombe, bound from St. Malo to Preston, went ashore on the Horse Bank, during a N.W. gale with a heavy ground swell. The Lytham Life-boat promptly went to the assistance of the master and crew; but they could not be got to un- derstand the perilous position in which they were placed, and ultimately the Life- boat had to return to the shore with only 2 of the crew of the brig. The Life-boat men were, however, very loth to leave the rest of the crew to p«rish, and they therefore again proceeded out, and the 5 men left on board the vessel were then only too glad to come into the boat, which brought them safely to shore..
