Claudine, of Antwerp

BUCKIE. — The schooner Claudine, of Antwerp, bound to Ipswich, was observed about noon on the 20th January, when blowing very hard from S.W., with snow squalls, to be drifting to the eastward in a helpless and disabled state. The Life-boat James Sturm was thereupon launched, and proceeded out tinder sail to her assistance. The disabled vessel was boarded about 9 miles from the land, and the Life-boat's crew having afforded material assistance in repairing her damages, left two of their number on board, and landed about 8 A.M. The schooner, thanks to the timely aid thus afforded, got salely into Macduff Harbour..
