Form, of Liverpool

On the same evening during a heavy gale from the N.W., the Life-boat Princess of Wales on this station put off to the brigantine Form, of Liverpool, in reply to her signals of distress, and landed her crew of 6 men. The vessel was in the Outer Roads, and was driving towards the Platter's Rock, at the time, and no other boat but the Life-boat dared venture out to her. The brigantine had parted one anchor, and was dragging the other, but the weather moderated, and she did not drive ashore after all; so the crew were taken off again to her the next morning.
