BROUGHTY FERRY, N.B.—It was reported, about 5 P.M. on the 4th March, that a schooner had gone ashore on the Lady Bank, and when she could 'be seen through the snow and drift, which was only at intervals, she appeared to be partially dismasted. The English Mechanic Life-boat went out under oars, inthe teeth of a strong S.E. gale and heavy sea, and found the vessel was ashore between the Lady Bank and the mainland.

The weather was very thick, and as darkness was coming on, the Life-boatmen exerted themselves to the utmost to rescue the crew before it became totally dark.

After nearly two hours hard pulling, the Boat got alongside the vessel, which proved to be the Swedish schooner Niels, took off the crew of five men, and safely landed them at Broughty Ferry..
