NEW BRIGHTON.—On the 28th January, at 1.30 P.M., a signal from the Crosby Lightship gave warning that a vessel in distress near Tailor's Bank required the aid of a Life-boat. The tubular Life-boat was thereupon manned, and proceeded in tow by the steam-tug Hercules to render assistance.

The distressed vessel was boarded by the Life-boat at 1.30, and found to be the sloop Darling, of Beanmaris, anchored in dangerous position, and requiring assistance.

The Life-boat's crew got the vessel under weigh, and the steam-tug then towed her into port. This vessel had a crew of 2 men..
