ARDROSSAN, N.B.—On the 4th February, at about 10 P.M., during a fresh breeze from S.S.W. the schooner Sarah Ann Dickinson, of Fleetwood, in approaching Ardrossan Harbour, ran on the Eagle Rock. A steam-tag proceeded to her and made an unsuccessful attempt to get her off. As the breeze had increased to a fresh gale, it was impossible for the crew to land in their own boat, and the Life-boat Fair Maid of Perth was therefore towed out by the steamer, and brought ashore the crew, consisting of 5 men, and 1 labourer, who had gone on board before the vessel struck.

Great difficulty was experienced in effecting this rescue, the shipwrecked men having to drop from the vessel's main boom over the starboard quarter into the Life-boat.

The Boat struck twice heavily on the rock; but fortunately sustained no damage.
