Die Manten (1)

The Die Manten afterwards drove ashore some miles to the southward of Montrose, and on the wreck being observed among the breakers on the 25th March the AdmiralFitzroy Life-boat stationed at Anstruther put off and found there was only one man on board, clinging to the wreck. The other 2 men having become benumbed had lost their hold and dropped into the sea during the night. The survivor was at once taken into the Life-boat and brought safely ashore. There was a strong S.E. wind blowing, and the sea was heavy at the time..
