Warkworth Castle
HAUXLEY, NORTHUMBERLAND.—On the afternoon of the 18th December, the brig Warkworth Castle, of Amble, bound to that port from Gloucester in ballast, droveashore in a snowstorm on Bondicar Bocks, near this Life-boat station. Her signals of distress were observed, and the Coastguard, by means of the rocket apparatus, sent a line on board; the Life-boat Algernon and Eleanor also proceeded to the wreck through a rough sea. She soon reached the spot, and saved the crew of nine men, who were landed about 8 o'clock in the evening. On this occasion the women helped to launch the Life-boat, as many of the men were engaged with the Rocket Brigade..
