John Green
DROGHEDA, IRELAND.—The schooner John Green, of this port, bound there with coal from Ardrossan, was entering the river Boyne on the llth February, while the wind was blowing hard from the E.N.E., and a very heavy sea running.
A great deal of fresh water was passing out of the river and setting to the south, which caused the schooner to lose her steerage way, and come in contact with the sea wall on the south side of the river.
The Drogheda No. 2 Life-boat John Suffer Charley was launched, and with great difficulty and danger she fortunately succeeded in saving the crew, consisting of five men, from the stranded vessel..
