Ada Melmore
PORT ISAAC.—On the 20th February, during a heavy gale from N.W., the barque Ada Melmore, of Maryport, was observed at anchor close in upon the rocks, near Port Quin, 4 miles from Port Isaac, with Signals of distress flying. About 9 o'clock the Life-boat Richard and Sarah was taken by land over an intricate road, and launched with difficulty, when she proceeded through a tremendous sea to the barque. It was decided by the master and officers to remain by the ship, the Life-boat now being at hand, but the crew decided that the risk would be too great, and 10 in number were landed by the Life-boat. Subsequently, the weather moderating, the Life-boat put the crew on board again, and the vessel weighed and stood out to sea. She was bound from Glasgow to Monte Video..
