Elizabeth, of Carlisle

On the 26th October, at 9.30 A.M., the Life-boat William Tomlinson was launched to the assistance of the schooner Elizabeth, of Carlisle, which had driven ashore near Seascale, a heavy sea breaking on the beach and it blowing hard at S.S.W. The Elizabeth was bound from Port Dinorwin to Silloth with a cargo of slates. The Life-boat, after a smart row, succeeded in boarding the wreck, and at 1.30 P.M. returned ashore with the crew of 3 men..
