GROOMSPORT.—On the 19th. May, at 10 A.M., the wind blowing hard from the N.E., the smack Newland, of Kilkeel, riding to her sole remaining anchor on a lee shore, in Ballyholme Bay, hoisted a signal of distress, and the Life-boat Florence having been conveyed by land to the Bay from her station at Groomsport was launched, and her crew found means to secure the distressed vessel by passing hawsers to the shore. Subsequently, after many hours of hard service, the Life-boatmen got the Newland out of danger and safely into Bangor Harbour. Difficulty was found in launching the Life-boat, from the heavy sea, on a peculiarly rough beach, the sea washing both horses and men off their legs..
