PIBL.—A schooner was observed at daylight, on the 28th October, in a dangerous position midway between Piel and Fleetwood; she had a signal of distress flying, and was apparently drifting helplessly in the heavy gale which was then blowing from the E.N.E. The William BirJcett Life-boat proceeded to her, and found that although she had three anchors down, she was dragging them fast, and was drifting to leeward. At the master's request, the Life-boat remained alongside the vessel until a steam-tug arrived, and towed her and the Life-boat safely intoPiel. She was the schooner Jane Hughes, of Carnarvon, from Morecambe to Duddon..
