Early on the morning of the 13th Jan. intelligence was received that a vessel was shewing signals of distress off this place. On the Life-boat Alfred and'Ernest being taken to the spot it was found that the ship Idaho, of Bath, U.S., 1,226 tons, bound from Liverpool to New Orleans with a general cargo, had stranded near the harbour. At the entreaty of the master she brought ashore his wife and child; and nine of the crew also rushed into the boat. In two other trips she afterwards landed, through a very heavy sea, the master and the remainder of those on the vessel, being 23 lives in all, the boat was fortunately enabled to save from the Wreck.
