NAIRN, N.B.—At about noon on the 20th January, information was received that a ship had gone ashore at Fort George, about seven miles W. of Nairn.

The Caulfield and Ann Life-boat went to her assistance, and on reaching the scene of the wreck it was found that the sea was very high, and that the ship must soon go to pieces. Lines were hove aboard her, but the crew were too exhausted to make use of them, and it then became necessary for the Life-boat to go alongside.

This was done, and with great difficulty the men, three in number, were rescued from their perilous position in an almost helpless state. The vessel proved to be the schooner Annie Marie, of Krageroe, Norway, bound thence to Wick with a cargo of billet wood.
