At about 10 A.M., on the 7th March, a message from Boarhills reported that a vessel was in a dangerous position about 4 miles east of St. Andrew's. The wind had fallen, but a very heavy sea was still running. The Ladies' Own Life-boat was launched at the harbour's mouth, and proceeded in search of the vessel, the weather being very thick at the time.

She returned about 2 P.M., bringing with her the crew of six men of the threemasted schooner Grasshopper, of Southampton, who were safely landed at St.

Andrew's..
