— About 4 A..M. on the 26th Jan., at which time it was blowing a gale from S.E., a pilot cutter discovered the wreck of the three-masted schooner No. 4, of j Arundel, on the Abertay Sands ; she there- \ upon bore up to communicate with the j Buddon Ness Life-boat station, and as- I sisted to man and tow the Life-boat ! Eleanora, to a suitable position for board- ing the wreck. The falling tide, however, had left too little water on the bank between the Life- boat and the wreck to enable her to gain it, aotwithstanding repeated efforts; and finally the wreck broke up without her doing so. The Eleanora was then enabled to save 3 of the crew who had clung to a piece of the wreck, and 3 more were saved by their own boat.

At the same time that the Eleanora was employed as above, the Life-boat Mary Hartley^ from Broughty Ferry, was also making persistent efforts to render assist- ance, but without success..
