WORTHING.—On the 1st June, in consequence of a sudden gale from S.W., a very heavy sea was set up on the coast about Worthing, and a number of fishing-boats at anchor were placed in great peril—some drove from their anchors; the Life-boat Jane was launched, and after much trouble in getting through the surf into deep water, she was enabled to board the Harkaway, of Shoreham, to which vessel she took fresh hands, by which means the lugger was got into Shoreham Harbour.

She also stayed by another lugger in distress for some hours, until that vessel was beached so as to save the lives of the crew. She ran ashore herself after being four hours jafloat, there being no further need of her services..
