On the 18th Jan. intelligence was received at the Isle of Whithorn that a large threes-masted vessel was at anchor in Luce Bay, in a position of some peril. The Charlie Peek Life-boat was thereupon quickly launched through a heavy sea, and, after a hard struggle of many hours, she reached the vessel, which proved to be the ship Ro- nachan, of Glasgow, which had parted from one of her anchors, with 60 fathoms of chain. The captain requested the Life- boat men to take ashore a message for a steam-tug to come to his assistance. The owners of the Ronachan defrayed the expenses of this service, which was of a \ very perilous character.
