On the 10th November the Joseph Anstice, the Life- boat of this station, in answer to signals of distress from the schooner Don, of Jersey, put off to her assistance. A very heavy gale was blowing from the north, and darkness coming on soon after the boat left the shore for the wreck, added to the dangers of the storm. The Life- boat, however, gained the distressed vessel, and eventually landed in safety the master and crew, in all 6 persons, who expected their vessel to sink during the night. Oa I the following morning, however, observ- I ing the Don to be still riding to heranchors, the Life-boat, -with the ship's crew as passengers, again went out, but in spite of the most determined efforts she was forced to return to the shore. On the morning of the 12th, however, the Life-boat's crew succeeded in putting some of their number on. board, and in the evening carried the Don safely into Holy Island Harbour..
