Braes, of Moray

NEWBIGGIN, NORTHUMBERLAND. — The schooner Braes of Moray, of Peterhead, was observed ashore on the Out Carrs rocks, at about 6 A.M., on the 26th November. The Life-boat William Hopkinson of Srighouse was at once got out, several of the fishermen's wives assisting to launch her, and the boat then proceeded through a very heavy sea, to the vessel. The wind was blowing a strong gale from the S.E. On reaching her it was found that she was fast filling with water; the crew of five men were then taken into the Life-boat, and safely landed.

Before the Boat regained the shore, nothing could be seen of the vessel, except a small portion of her topmast..
