On the 6th December after dark, several of the fishing vessels of the port being known to be off it, and expected to take the bar of the river under somewhat trying circumstances, the Life- boat China was held in readiness. It was blowing a fresh breeze at E.N.E. with a rough sea on the bar at 8 P.M., when a fishing boat, whilst entering the river, was struck by a sea and capsized. The Life-boat was launched as speedily as possible, and succeeded in rescuing 2 of the crew. Two were, unhappily, drowned before the Life-boat reached the scene of the accident..
