At 11 A.M. on the 26th Feb- ruary, during a strong gale at E., the schooner Tantivy, of Wicklow, bound from Liverpool to Wicklow, was forced ashore on the strand north of Howth Harbour.

Immediately on striking, heavy seas rolled on board and filled the vessel. Before she had actually struck the ground, and when in the midst of the broken water, the Howth Life-boat Clara Baker, which had been despatched by Mr. JOHN LYONS, the Honorary Secretary, on his first perceiving the distressed condition of the schooner, arrived alongside, and the crew of the vessel, leaping into her from the quarter of the vessel, were being conveyed safely into Howth Harbour while their ship was sinking. Four men were thus saved by the Life-boat on this occasion..
