Jubilee, of Preston

Three days afterwards the same Life- boat was also the means of rescuing the crew of 4 men from the schooner Jubilee, of Preston, which, during foggy weather, stranded on the north end of the Horse Bank. When the crew were brought ashore by the Life-boat a heavy ground- swell was breaking on the sandbank, but in the evening the sea went down, and the vessel having held together, the master secured the services of the Life-boat and some fishing-boats, and after transferring a portion of the cargo to the latter, the schooner floated off, and was afterwards taken into harbour..
