Eliza Emma

The brig Eliza Emma, of Shoreham.

while entering Hartlepool, at about 7 P.M., on the 14th February, during a moderateS.S.E. gale, accompanied by a very heavy sea, ran ashore on the Beacon Eocks, owing to the thickness of the weather preventing the lights from being seen.

The Hartlepool No. 3 Life-boat John Clay Barlow proceeded to her assistance, and took off her crew of five men. The master, however, refused to leave the vessel, and the Life-boat therefore proceeded ashore with the five men. After they had been landed, the captain made signals, and the Life-boat thereupon returned to the vessel, and brought him also ashore..
