William Hill

On the following day the same Lifeboat went, in a heavy sea, to the assistance of the brig William Hill, of Dundalk, which had shown signals of distress while lying in the bay about two miles from the shore. It was found that the vessel'scable had given way, and that she was rolling heavily. With the aid of the Life-boat this vessel was also brought safely into harbour. She was on a voyage from Dundalk to Ardrossan, in ballast, and carried a crew of five men. (Vide also service rendered to the crew of this vessel by the Ayr Life-boat, page 230.).
