On the 21st February at 8.30 A.M.

this Life-boat again proceeded to Beachy Head to the assistance of the barque Coonatto, of London, which vessel, while on a voyage from Adelaide to London, with wool and copper, got ashore near the Head in a strong breeze at W.S.W.

The Life-boat embarked those on board, and was about to make for Eastbourne to land them, when a signal was shown from that place, " Don't abandon ship," whereupon the Life-boat replaced the crew on board, but remained alongside till 3 P.M., it being expected, from the state of the weather, that the vessel at any moment might have to be abandoned.

The Life-boat beached at Crowlink..
