PADSTOW.—On the 24th November, the Life-boat Albert Edward was launched to the aid of a vessel showing signals of distress, during a strong N.E. gale and heavy sea. She had brought up in a dangerous position on the inner edge of the Doom Bar Sand. On speaking the vessel, the master stated that he required a pilot; but as the sea was then too heavy for the pilotsto go out, the Life-boat, at the captain's request, remained by the vessel until she was able to enter the harbour in safety.

She was the s.s. Ogmore, of Hayle, bound from Porthcawl to Portreath, with a cargo of coal..
